Hello. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:10 | |
This is Breakfast,
with Ben Thompson and Tina Daheley. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
New regulations are announced
to tackle rogue drone operators. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
People who use drones will have
to take safety tests and the police | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
will be given more powers
to stop their illegal use. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:29 | |
Good morning. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:35 | |

With England all out for 195
in their second innings, | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
the Aussies need just 170 to win. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |

Sailors from the Royal Navy prepare
to take on the job of guarding | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
Buckingham Palace
for the first time. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
And Ben has the weather. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
Good morning. A chilly weekend of
weather continues. A cold and frosty | 0:01:26 | 0:01:34 | |
start. Sunshine and showers.
Clouding over in the west. Thank | 0:01:34 | 0:01:45 | |
you. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
Good morning. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
First, our main story. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:50 | |
People who fly drones will be
required to take safety awareness | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
tests as part of a government
clampdown on rogue operators. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
Owners will be banned
from flying them near airports, | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
while the police will be given
new powers to seize the machines. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
They are part of plans to crack down
on criminal and unsafe use | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
of drones, which have
been used for smuggling, | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
and have been involved
in near-misses with aeroplanes. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
Here's our business
correspondent, Joe Lynam. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
They are getting bigger and like.
They can carry items and can go in | 0:02:11 | 0:02:18 | |
water and out again. The government
wants to tap into these new | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
technologies but also prevent abuse
of drones. The drone bill could make | 0:02:21 | 0:02:28 | |
owners of drones weighing more than
250 g will need to register and do a | 0:02:28 | 0:02:33 | |
test. They will be banned from
airports and higher than 120 metres. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:38 | |
Police will have new powers to seize
unmanned vehicles. And Britain also | 0:02:38 | 0:02:45 | |
wants to tap into the wider benefits
of drones. They can help in the | 0:02:45 | 0:02:50 | |
construction, mining and offshore
oil rig industries. They can do jobs | 0:02:50 | 0:02:55 | |
which put people at risk. Hopefully
it will help with safety as well. | 0:02:55 | 0:03:01 | |
And the safety concerns were
highlighted in July when Gatwick | 0:03:01 | 0:03:05 | |
Airport had to close when a drone
was flown under a plane which had | 0:03:05 | 0:03:10 | |
the land. There were a few near
misses at other airports since the | 0:03:10 | 0:03:14 | |
dot and 15 as well. Joe Lynam, BBC
News. -- since 2015. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:20 | |
After 7am, we'll speak
to a representative of one | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
of the world's biggest drone
manufacturers about the changes. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
And now for some other news. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
Ireland's European Commissioner has
urged the UK not to leave the single | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
market and customs union. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:32 | |
Phil Hogan told The Observer that it
would be the best way to avoid | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
stringent border controls
between Northern Ireland | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
and the Republic. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:38 | |
Theresa May hopes the EU will agree
to move the Brexit talks onto trade | 0:03:38 | 0:03:42 | |
at next month's summit. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:43 | |
But European negotiators say
the border issue must be settled | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
first, as our political
correspondent, Chris Mason, | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
explains. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:53 | |
What do the government is desperate
to move these Brexit talks on to the | 0:03:53 | 0:03:58 | |
future relationship to talk about
trade. But, in order to do that, | 0:03:58 | 0:04:03 | |
they have three big issues they have
to make significant progress on. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:08 | |
Talk of a divorce bill, talk of
citizens rights, Britons elsewhere | 0:04:08 | 0:04:14 | |
and European citizens in the UK, and
then this issue becoming a really | 0:04:14 | 0:04:19 | |
big sticking point, the Irish
border, the border between Northern | 0:04:19 | 0:04:25 | |
Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
At the moment it is almost | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
invisible. But when the UK leads the
European Union that will be the | 0:04:28 | 0:04:32 | |
frontier between the UK and the
European Union. It cannot be a hard | 0:04:32 | 0:04:39 | |
border, something physical and
obvious to see. But, how does the UK | 0:04:39 | 0:04:46 | |
achieve that if it is leaving the
single market and the customs union? | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
They will be operating economies
under different rules. There is a | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
lot of talk trying to find a
technological solution. But there is | 0:04:54 | 0:05:00 | |
very little talk about a precise
detail. Ireland has a huge amount of | 0:05:00 | 0:05:05 | |
power at the moment as they can veto
and stop the UK being able to move | 0:05:05 | 0:05:10 | |
on to the second stage of the Brexit
talks. And as if this was not all | 0:05:10 | 0:05:15 | |
complicated and involved enough,
there was even the potential for an | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
Irish general election before
Christmas because of political | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
turbulence. And there is plenty of
political turbulence here and | 0:05:21 | 0:05:26 | |
happening elsewhere in Europe, right
at the heart of these Brexit | 0:05:26 | 0:05:31 | |
negotiation. -- negotiations. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:37 | |

A police officer has been seriously
injured after a van was driven | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
at him in Liverpool. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
It happened in the Norris Green area
of the city after a number | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
of officers tried
to stop the vehicle. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
Merseyside Police have called
the incident a "despicable attack" | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
and say a man has been arrested. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
Egyptian officials say gunmen
who killed more than 300 people | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
during an attack on a mosque
in Sinai were carrying the flag | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
of the Islamic State group. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:02 | |
No-one has claimed responsibility
yet, but Egypt's military says it's | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
conducted airstrikes in response. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |

President al-Sisi says this
is a mission to avenge the martyrs. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:21 | |
The army says weapons destroyed
stockpiles and vehicles used by the | 0:06:21 | 0:06:26 | |

family. -- leg. In the bed nearby, | 0:06:46 | 0:06:52 | |
his 17-year-old cousin, also shot
twice, once in the back. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:59 | |
His mother is looking
to God to punish those | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
who brought such torment. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:02 | |

will be burned just like ours. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |

A candlelight vigil has been
held for the teenager, | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
Gaia Pope, a week
after her body was found. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
People gathered in Prince Albert
Gardens in Dorset to light candles | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
and leave flowers in memory
of the 19-year-old, whose | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
disappearance sparked a massive
campaign to find her. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
Police say they are treating her
death as "unexplained." | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
There's concern that a volcano
on the Indonesian island of Bali may | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
be about to erupt. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:29 | |
Mount Agung, which is currently
blowing a plume of thick ash | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
into the sky, last erupted in 1963. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:34 | |
Around 25,000 people
have been evacuated, | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
and some flights
have been cancelled. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:37 | |
Andrew Plant has the latest. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:46 | |
Plumes of black smoke as people
on the Indonesian island of Bali | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
look on from a distance. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:53 | |
The fear is that this volcano
could be about to erupt. | 0:08:53 | 0:09:01 | |
Thousands have now been told
to move away from the area. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
Airlines have been warned
about volcanic ash in the air | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
from the billowing smoke more
than 1,500 metres high. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:09 | |
Many flights here have
now been cancelled. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:18 | |
It's really kind of inconvenient,
but there's not much you can do, | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
it's a natural disaster. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:22 | |
So, umm, yeah, it's... | 0:09:22 | 0:09:23 | |
Yeah, one of those things. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
It's kind of difficult. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
I lost my bag as well,
so I have been waiting for my bag, | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
but now I'm just going to go back
to the hotel and come back tomorrow, | 0:09:33 | 0:09:37 | |
I guess. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:38 | |
The volcano has been showing signs
of unrest since September, | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
with many leaving their homes
for temporary shelters. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
Now, people within eight miles have
been told to evacuate, | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
with more than 120,000
displaced, scattered in camps | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
across the island. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
The mountain is sacred
to people here. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
The red warning, though,
means experts believe an eruption | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
could happen at any time,
and no-one is taking any chances. | 0:09:56 | 0:10:02 | |
It would be the volcano's first
full-scale eruption since 1963 | 0:10:02 | 0:10:05 | |
when more than 1,000
people lost their lives. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:11 | |

Let's speak to Elaine Borges-Ibanez,
who is on holiday in Bali and can | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
see the Volcano. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:26 | |
You can see the volcano behind us.
You are outside the exclusion zone. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:37 | |
It looks like you are close but you
are out in safety. Tell us what it | 0:10:37 | 0:10:44 | |
is they are | 0:10:44 | 0:10:44 | |
are out in safety. Tell us what it
is they are telling us. Before I | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
came to Bali I took the precaution
of having a mask with a carbon | 0:10:47 | 0:10:53 | |
filter. I also have goggles which I
can put on if ash is falling | 0:10:53 | 0:10:58 | |
directly. It was mainly falling
directly this morning. Near the | 0:10:58 | 0:11:05 | |
hotel, a large amount was swept up
by the pool. They like to use it as | 0:11:05 | 0:11:12 | |
fertiliser. Since then, only a
smattering has fallen, on my laptop, | 0:11:12 | 0:11:17 | |
on my cellphone, and the ground.
Please explain. This volcano has | 0:11:17 | 0:11:22 | |
been threatening to erupt for a
while. Many have decided not to go | 0:11:22 | 0:11:28 | |
on holiday. In the last 48 hours we
have seen a big increase in activity | 0:11:28 | 0:11:33 | |
from the volcano is to be is that
right? -- volcano. A week ago it | 0:11:33 | 0:11:50 | |
threw up some smoke. From this
morning I could see the cloud was | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
very high in the sky. I came here
knowing that the volcano might | 0:11:53 | 0:11:59 | |
erupt. I wanted to support the
people of Bali because they need | 0:11:59 | 0:12:03 | |
tourism even more now than they did
before, because many of the people | 0:12:03 | 0:12:08 | |
live basically on the poverty line,
and every tourist, the power of the | 0:12:08 | 0:12:14 | |
dollar, whatever currency, really
helps them to keep going because | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
they don't have the reserves that
English people have. Sub it is our | 0:12:17 | 0:12:22 | |
duty actually to come to Bali.
Absolutely. -- so it. What is the | 0:12:22 | 0:12:30 | |
atmosphere? Are people getting on
with life normally? They are used to | 0:12:30 | 0:12:34 | |
living and working in the shadow of
the volcano. Yes. They are happy to | 0:12:34 | 0:12:39 | |
clean the room, they say. They are
doing landscape gardening and | 0:12:39 | 0:12:45 | |
preparing the place. A guest has
arrived here at the restaurant. I | 0:12:45 | 0:12:52 | |
saw some with big sacks of rice
leaving the area, and some temporary | 0:12:52 | 0:13:11 | |
residents in the area have also
left, but the diehards have stayed | 0:13:11 | 0:13:14 | |
because they are allowed to stay. If
the volcano doesn't erupt, what | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
precautions are in place and what
preparations are being made? I have | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
not been told officially, but we
will probably be notified by text. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:24 | |
The people can then evacuate to
various evacuation centres. It is | 0:13:24 | 0:13:31 | |
quite safe further away. It is only
in the exclusion zone, the immediate | 0:13:31 | 0:13:42 | |
perimeter of the exclusion zone,
there is likely to be a problem. It | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
does not affect the whole of Bali.
It is very good to talk to you. She | 0:13:45 | 0:13:50 | |
is on holiday. Stay safe. That is an
incredible image behind you with | 0:13:50 | 0:13:55 | |
that volcano threatening to erupt.
Goodbye. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:59 | |
Let's have a look at
this morning's papers. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:03 | |
The Sunday Express. We have been
talking about this intense | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
speculation about Prince Harry and
Meghan's engagement which we thought | 0:14:06 | 0:14:12 | |
would be announced early last week
but we are still waiting. That is | 0:14:12 | 0:14:16 | |
also on the front of the Times.
Meghan keeps Westminster waiting. A | 0:14:16 | 0:14:21 | |
picture of them both. Preparing to
announce their engagement this week. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:27 | |

17 year marriage to Jackie Robinson.
-- presenter. And an incredible | 0:15:03 | 0:15:10 | |
headline here. We will have more on
those stories later, but now, the | 0:15:10 | 0:15:17 | |
weather. Cold and frosty this
morning? | 0:15:17 | 0:15:23 | |
Our cold weekend continues today, a
frosty start for many, you may need | 0:15:25 | 0:15:29 | |
to scrape the car if you're heading
out early and summarise in places | 0:15:29 | 0:15:33 | |
early and initially at least a
mixture of sunshine and showers -- | 0:15:33 | 0:15:38 | |
some ice. That's where we have the
potential for highs on untreated | 0:15:38 | 0:15:43 | |
roads and pavements, bear that in
mind, this is how we expect it at | 0:15:43 | 0:15:47 | |
9am. For Wales and the south-west,
some showers, but for the south-east | 0:15:47 | 0:15:52 | |
and into East Anglia, a dry start
and when the sun comes up there will | 0:15:52 | 0:15:56 | |
be plenty of blue skies but surely,
two or three by 9am. Zero west | 0:15:56 | 0:16:01 | |
England, Northern Ireland, showers
and the ice risk and showers in | 0:16:01 | 0:16:09 | |
north-west England -- north-west
England. Through the day like | 0:16:09 | 0:16:13 | |
yesterday the best of the dry and
bright weather will be in eastern | 0:16:13 | 0:16:17 | |
areas, the showers in the west will
tend to use as the day goes on. But | 0:16:17 | 0:16:22 | |
only as this area of cloud starts to
invade from the Atlantic -- will | 0:16:22 | 0:16:27 | |
tend to ease. Outbreaks of rain by
the end of the day. Just a subtle | 0:16:27 | 0:16:32 | |
lift in the temperatures out west,
it won't feel much less cold but | 0:16:32 | 0:16:36 | |
beginning to creep up and that's a
sign of what's to come tonight. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:40 | |
Plenty of changes tonight, rain into
Northern Ireland, heavy rain at | 0:16:40 | 0:16:44 | |
that, snow for a time over the hills
of Scotland and then there's rain | 0:16:44 | 0:16:48 | |
sinks across northern England and
Wales, a lot of rain in some of | 0:16:48 | 0:16:52 | |
these areas and that band of rain
pushes further south by the end of | 0:16:52 | 0:16:55 | |
the night. Ahead of it, mild
compared to what we've had recently, | 0:16:55 | 0:16:59 | |
11 to start Monday morning in
Plymouth by cold air holds on in | 0:16:59 | 0:17:04 | |
Scotland. Quite windy overnight.
Strong winds continues tomorrow -- | 0:17:04 | 0:17:09 | |
but cold air. A heavy burst of rain
likely for most areas. Once it | 0:17:09 | 0:17:15 | |
clears away, the skies will brighten
and we will seize spells of | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
sunshine, plenty of showers coming
southwards on the strong wind and | 0:17:19 | 0:17:23 | |
those showers in Scotland
particularly will be wintry with | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
some snow -- will see spells. Those
temperatures coming down in the | 0:17:26 | 0:17:31 | |
north as the day goes on, 4-10 by
tomorrow afternoon. On Monday night, | 0:17:31 | 0:17:36 | |
the weather front that brought the
rain clears away to the south, low | 0:17:36 | 0:17:41 | |
pressure clears eastwards and follow
the isobars to the Arctic, a | 0:17:41 | 0:17:45 | |
familiar tale. Back into the cold
air as we go through the week ahead. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:50 | |
After a brief milder spell tonight
through to tomorrow, it won't last, | 0:17:50 | 0:17:56 | |
a chilly week ahead, there will be
some sunshine and showers and in the | 0:17:56 | 0:18:00 | |
showers there could be some snow.
Snow? Thank you very much! It's | 0:18:00 | 0:18:06 | |
feeling really cold, isn't it? | 0:18:06 | 0:18:07 | |
Somewhere that isn't is to buy, the
Travel Show team have been there and | 0:18:09 | 0:18:13 | |
they're finding out how it's
becoming one of the world's fastest | 0:18:13 | 0:18:17 | |
growing tourist destinations -- is
to buy. -- is Dubai. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:24 | |
Now it's time for The Travel Show. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:28 | |
We'll see you for the
headlines at 6:30am. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
20 years ago, Dubai set out
to become one of the most talked | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
about towns in the world. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:34 | |
Since then this young city state,
one of seven emirates in the UAE, | 0:18:34 | 0:18:38 | |
has largely succeeded. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:39 | |
It's become one of the fastest
growing tourist destinations | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
on the planet. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:44 | |
Synonymous with spectacular
skyscrapers, gigantic shopping malls | 0:18:44 | 0:18:46 | |
and high-end hospitality and also
the occasional stories of tourists | 0:18:46 | 0:18:48 | |
who fall foul of local customs. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:58 | |
But scratch deeper and there's
much more to this place. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
No longer the brash new kid
on the block, Dubai is now | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
an established hub and one of
the world's few truly global cities. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:18 | |
And although the impulse
to impress is still here, | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
there's now a more complex identity
taking shape and I'm here to see how | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
that's changing the look and feel
of Dubai, its people and its future. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:25 | |
This is The Creek, the real heart
of old Dubai, and gorgeous | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
in this light. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:49 | |
Now, this used to be a real trading
hub for the city and the kinds | 0:19:49 | 0:19:53 | |
of boats you can see behind me bring
in spices and other goods | 0:19:53 | 0:19:57 | |
from countries like India,
Iran and much further afield. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
This is my personal favourite part
of Dubai, the old town, | 0:20:11 | 0:20:14 | |
where you get a real
sense of the past. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:22 | |
It's a contrast to the skyscrapers
and shopping malls downtown. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
What is this?
This is cinnamon. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:27 | |
Cinnamon, yeah, I recognised that. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:28 | |
Very good.
This one is turmeric. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
Turmeric, yeah, very
good for cooking. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
This one is for cooking, and this
is for the face massage. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:36 | |
For the face massage?
OK. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
And what is this? | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
This is a long piece
of wood, what is it? | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
This is more cinnamon!
Very good! | 0:20:43 | 0:20:45 | |
You're testing me, aren't you! | 0:20:45 | 0:20:48 | |
Tell me the difference,
that is bigger? | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
This is bigger and this is smaller. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
Is that it?! | 0:20:52 | 0:20:52 | |
LAUGHS | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
Frankly, if I hadn't stopped him
I think he would've taken me | 0:20:54 | 0:20:58 | |
through every single
spice in the shop. | 0:20:58 | 0:20:59 | |
This one is for
smoking and for soup. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:04 | |
Of course if you're into bling
you don't have to go too far to find | 0:21:04 | 0:21:08 | |
that here too. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:10 | |
But to find authentic
arts and crafts 21st | 0:21:10 | 0:21:12 | |
century style, then you'll need
to venture even further | 0:21:12 | 0:21:14 | |
from the glitz and skyscrapers,
and head to be gritty Al Quoz | 0:21:14 | 0:21:18 | |
industrial area, where a flourishing
warehouse-based community arts scene | 0:21:18 | 0:21:20 | |
has sprung up. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:25 | |
This is "calligraffiti",
a mixture of traditional Arabic | 0:21:25 | 0:21:41 | |
calligraphy and graffiti,
and it's the signature style | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
of a French-born artist of Tunisian
origin, who goes by the name of eL | 0:21:43 | 0:21:47 | |
Seed. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:48 | |
He'd taken his unique approach
to street art around the world | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
with astonishing results,
including this monumental project | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
he created in a working-class
district of Cairo. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:55 | |
So what's he doing in Dubai? | 0:21:55 | 0:22:01 | |
For me, Dubai is like, a new city. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:06 | |
I look at it, I try to
have a different view to it. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
A lot of people coming
from outside say, "Oh, | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
it is fake, you are an artist,
how could you be here?" | 0:22:12 | 0:22:15 | |
For me, there is this kind
of growing art scene, | 0:22:15 | 0:22:18 | |
there is a growing art community. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:19 | |
As an artist it's always good to see
that I am part of this, | 0:22:19 | 0:22:23 | |
I am part of making
a change and making this movement. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:28 | |
If I can question you on that,
it is also a place that is glamorous | 0:22:28 | 0:22:32 | |
and wealthy, you have a big expat
population, you have some very rich | 0:22:32 | 0:22:36 | |
people here. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:36 | |
Is that inspiring for you? | 0:22:36 | 0:22:41 | |
We are here in the middle
of the industrial zone that has been | 0:22:41 | 0:22:44 | |
turned into this cultural
and art community. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:46 | |
Like, when you cross the road
you have still factories. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:49 | |
This is the Dubai
that I want to see. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:51 | |
I am not interested in the shiny
things, that's not for me. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:54 | |
But some people that they want it. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:56 | |
I think at some point
there is a switch, | 0:22:56 | 0:22:59 | |
Dubai will show people,
this is what we do. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
Some people love Paris, | 0:23:01 | 0:23:02 | |
I love Paris, some people hate
Paris. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:04 | |
Some people love New York,
some others hate New York. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
You cannot compare. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:17 | |
Some people love Paris, | 0:23:20 | 0:23:21 | |
I love Paris, some people hate
Paris. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:23 | |
Some people love New York,
some others hate New York. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:25 | |
You cannot compare. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:26 | |
For me it's too naive. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:28 | |
But what I look? | 0:23:28 | 0:23:29 | |
Yes, what has been done here in less
than 30 years is crazy. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:32 | |
I think people should
just salute that. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:41 | |
While the artists there
are busy feeding the soul, | 0:23:46 | 0:23:49 | |
many locals and expats
here in Dubai are also now keen | 0:23:49 | 0:23:52 | |
to exercise their bodies. | 0:23:52 | 0:24:01 | |
Some of them in the most
quintessential Emirati locations. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:03 | |
Now, you wouldn't normally
associate Dubai with cycling. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:12 | |
In fact, riding through the Dubai
rush hour is definitely a no-no. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:15 | |
But the sport is becoming
increasingly popular here, | 0:24:15 | 0:24:17 | |
thanks to facilities
like this, a cycling track. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:19 | |
It's long, smooth, purpose built
and flat as a pancake. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
In a country not famed
for its exercise culture, | 0:24:22 | 0:24:24 | |
these days many locals are now
getting into a whole | 0:24:24 | 0:24:27 | |
range of sports. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:37 | |
And in case you're wondering,
I'm going to leave | 0:24:37 | 0:24:40 | |
this one to the experts. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:41 | |
Hi, I'm a wakeboarder in Dubai. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:43 | |
I'm all about board sports,
so snowboarding, wakeboarding, | 0:24:52 | 0:24:55 | |
kite surfing, all
accessible in Dubai. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:59 | |
Living in the desert,
the closest mountain is in Lebanon | 0:24:59 | 0:25:02 | |
or Georgia or something. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:05 | |
You have the best instructors,
you learn how to snowboard | 0:25:05 | 0:25:09 | |
here and when you go into any
mountain from the Alps | 0:25:09 | 0:25:12 | |
to Colorado, it's simple. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:21 | |
The younger generation's actually
crazy here in Dubai. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:27 | |
They're crazy when it
comes to extreme sports. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:29 | |
They're trying to compete
more internationally. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:30 | |
It's actually really nice to see. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:32 | |
The vibe of the city
is all about work hard, play hard. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:36 | |
You put in so many hours at work,
so the little time you have left, | 0:25:36 | 0:25:39 | |
you don't want to waste it
just lolling around. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:47 | |
Keen to get another fix
of the great outdoors, | 0:25:55 | 0:25:57 | |
I'm now heading out to the desert
early in the morning to experience | 0:25:57 | 0:26:02 | |
something new that I'm told you can
only see here in Dubai. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
It's a new twist on traditional
Arabian falconry. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:24 | |
I hear it's going to be
truly breathtaking. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:26 | |
2,500 years ago, people relied
on the falcon the way | 0:26:30 | 0:26:33 | |
you and I rely on the supermarket. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:35 | |
Falcons put food on the table. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:43 | |
Traditionally the way it worked,
birds from Europe and Asia migrated | 0:26:43 | 0:26:46 | |
from the Middle East to Africa. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:47 | |
On that migration they would trap
them from the wild and then use them | 0:26:47 | 0:26:51 | |
in the winter months. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:52 | |
At the end of winter
they would untie them | 0:26:52 | 0:26:55 | |
and release them into the wild. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:56 | |
It is a beautiful system
of borrowing a bird | 0:26:56 | 0:26:59 | |
from the wild and then
giving them back. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:01 | |
We are about to release
Oberon from the basket | 0:27:01 | 0:27:03 | |
and I'll untie him. | 0:27:03 | 0:27:09 | |
You'll see he's wearing
a transmitter on his tail, | 0:27:09 | 0:27:12 | |
that's so I can find
him if he flies away. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:15 | |
I'll pop his hood off in a second. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:17 | |
This device is called a hood,
and this is keeping him | 0:27:17 | 0:27:21 | |
calm and relaxed. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:22 | |
That comes off.
OK. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
Ready, guys?
Five, four, three, two, one... | 0:27:28 | 0:27:36 | |
Wow!
Amazing. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:54 | |
Hey!
Good boy. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:59 | |
Do you want to have a go? | 0:27:59 | 0:28:03 | |
I would love to, let's try. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:05 | |
Oh, yes. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:14 | |
Peter has helped to hand rear these
birds from birth and the bond | 0:28:14 | 0:28:17 | |
of trust between them is vital. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:20 | |
It's clear that to him the falcon's
welfare is paramount, | 0:28:20 | 0:28:24 | |
and months go into training
the birds to get them used | 0:28:24 | 0:28:33 | |
to the sights and sounds
of the baloon and its passengers. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:40 | |
If practised correctly | 0:28:40 | 0:28:41 | |
these birds are in good shape. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:43 | |
So the bird is not suffering.
Absolutely not. | 0:28:43 | 0:28:45 | |
What more could you ask for? | 0:28:45 | 0:28:47 | |
A unique experience
and a beautiful animal. | 0:28:47 | 0:28:51 | |
Hello. | 0:30:07 | 0:30:08 | |
This is Breakfast,
with Ben Thompson and Tina Daheley. | 0:30:08 | 0:30:12 | |
Good morning to you. | 0:30:12 | 0:30:13 | |
Here's a summary of this morning's
main stories from BBC News. | 0:30:13 | 0:30:16 | |
People who fly drones will be
required to take safety awareness | 0:30:16 | 0:30:19 | |
tests as part of a government
clampdown on rogue operators. | 0:30:19 | 0:30:22 | |
Owners will be banned
from flying them near airports, | 0:30:22 | 0:30:25 | |
while the police will be given
new powers to seize the machines. | 0:30:25 | 0:30:28 | |
They are part of plans to crack down
on criminal and unsafe use | 0:30:28 | 0:30:31 | |
of drones, which have been used
for smuggling and have been involved | 0:30:31 | 0:30:35 | |
in near-misses with aeroplanes. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:40 | |
Ireland's European Commissioner has
urged the UK not to leave the single | 0:30:40 | 0:30:43 | |
market and customs union. | 0:30:43 | 0:30:45 | |
Phil Hogan has told The Observer
that it would be the best way | 0:30:45 | 0:30:48 | |
to avoid stringent border controls
between Northern Ireland | 0:30:48 | 0:30:50 | |
and the Republic. | 0:30:50 | 0:30:51 | |
Theresa May hopes the EU will agree
to move the Brexit talks onto trade | 0:30:51 | 0:30:55 | |
at next month's summit. | 0:30:55 | 0:30:56 | |
But Mr Hogan warns Ireland
will use its veto to stop progress | 0:30:56 | 0:30:59 | |
if it is not satisfed. | 0:30:59 | 0:31:02 | |
A police officer has been seriously
injured after a van was driven | 0:31:02 | 0:31:05 | |
at him in Liverpool. | 0:31:05 | 0:31:07 | |
It happened in the Norris Green area
of the city after a number | 0:31:07 | 0:31:10 | |
of officers tried
to stop the vehicle. | 0:31:10 | 0:31:12 | |
Merseyside Police have called
the incident a "despicable attack" | 0:31:12 | 0:31:14 | |
and say a man has been arrested. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:22 | |
Egyptian officials say gunmen
who carried out an attack | 0:31:22 | 0:31:24 | |
on a mosque in Sinai were carrying
the flag of the Islamic State group. | 0:31:24 | 0:31:28 | |
More than 300 people were killed,
including at least 30 children. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:31 | |
No-one has claimed responsibility
yet, but Egypt's military says it's | 0:31:31 | 0:31:34 | |
conducted several
airstrikes in response. | 0:31:34 | 0:31:38 | |
Pakistan's government has asked
the army to deploy troops to restore | 0:31:38 | 0:31:41 | |
order in the capital, Islamabad,
after clashes between police | 0:31:41 | 0:31:44 | |
and Islamist protesters. | 0:31:44 | 0:31:44 | |
Nearly 200 people have been injured. | 0:31:44 | 0:31:46 | |
The demonstrators are demanding
the removal of a government minister | 0:31:46 | 0:31:49 | |
they accuse of blasphemy. | 0:31:49 | 0:31:50 | |
Violence has also spread
to other cities, including | 0:31:50 | 0:31:52 | |
Lahore and Karachi. | 0:31:52 | 0:32:00 | |
A candlelight vigil has been held
for the teenager Gaia Pope a week | 0:32:00 | 0:32:03 | |
after her body was found. | 0:32:03 | 0:32:05 | |
People gathered in Prince Albert
Gardens in Dorset to light candles | 0:32:05 | 0:32:08 | |
and leave flowers in memory
of the 19-year-old, whose | 0:32:08 | 0:32:10 | |
disappearance sparked a massive
campaign to find her. | 0:32:10 | 0:32:12 | |
Police say they are treating her
death as "unexplained." | 0:32:12 | 0:32:35 | |
There is concern that a volcano on
the Indonesian island of Bali may be | 0:32:35 | 0:32:40 | |
about to era. | 0:32:40 | 0:32:43 | |
Mount Agung, which is currently
blowing a plume of thick ash | 0:32:43 | 0:32:46 | |
into the sky, last erupted in 1963. | 0:32:46 | 0:32:47 | |
Around 25,000 people
have been evacuated, | 0:32:47 | 0:32:49 | |
and some flights
have been cancelled. | 0:32:49 | 0:33:00 | |
I saw some motorbikes with big sacks
of rice on them leaving the area, | 0:33:00 | 0:33:16 | |
and some temporary residents have
left as well. But the diehards are | 0:33:16 | 0:33:19 | |
still here. | 0:33:19 | 0:33:23 | |
The TV presenter, Davina McCall,
has announced that she is splitting | 0:33:23 | 0:33:26 | |
from her husband, Matthew Robertson. | 0:33:26 | 0:33:27 | |
They have been married for 17 years. | 0:33:27 | 0:33:29 | |
In a statement, the 50-year-old star
expressed her sadness, | 0:33:29 | 0:33:32 | |
and said the couple's
priority is their children | 0:33:32 | 0:33:34 | |
during what she called
a "difficult time." | 0:33:34 | 0:33:36 | |
It is time to check in on all of the
sport. The Ashes. What's happening? | 0:33:36 | 0:33:42 | |
I would like to bring good news.
Australia are cruising to victory in | 0:33:42 | 0:33:49 | |
the first test at the Gabba, or the
Gabbatoir. The Australian Sneyd just | 0:33:49 | 0:34:01 | |
170 to win. -- Australians need. Joe
Root made a half-century, but that | 0:34:01 | 0:34:08 | |
was it. When Jonny Bairstow got out,
that was really all over at that | 0:34:08 | 0:34:17 | |
point. They have moved on to 60
without loss. Both batsmen are | 0:34:17 | 0:34:28 | |
scoring well and are well set
already. They are working well, but | 0:34:28 | 0:34:34 | |
just cannot find a break. There is a
glimmer of hope at least. | 0:34:34 | 0:34:38 | |
Rugby Union's Autumn Internationals
are over for another year | 0:34:38 | 0:34:41 | |
and Scotland ended their campaign
in style against Australia, | 0:34:41 | 0:34:43 | |
while Wales' miserable run
against New Zealand continues. | 0:34:43 | 0:34:45 | |
Patrick Gearey reports. | 0:34:45 | 0:34:52 | |
No wonder they are buying souvenirs.
Something is stirring in Scottish | 0:34:52 | 0:34:59 | |
rugby. Who better to test their new
confidence against than Australia? | 0:34:59 | 0:35:03 | |
There is heartbreaking history here.
The Wallabies have done well against | 0:35:03 | 0:35:11 | |
the Scots. It all changed with a
charge. This was the last act. Red | 0:35:11 | 0:35:17 | |
mend go for Scotland. They charged
over. -- meant. McGuigan was not | 0:35:17 | 0:35:23 | |
even due to be playing that match,
but scored twice. With the extra | 0:35:23 | 0:35:28 | |
man, they found several extra gears.
Age tries. -- eight. They had never | 0:35:28 | 0:35:36 | |
beaten Australia by more than nine
points, this time, 20. There are | 0:35:36 | 0:35:41 | |
only fading flickering memories of
the last time Wales beat New | 0:35:41 | 0:35:44 | |
Zealand. On a different ground, a
different game to the one the | 0:35:44 | 0:35:51 | |
current All Blacks play. Bombastic
and gymnastic. Scoring twice from | 0:35:51 | 0:35:56 | |
two attacks. Wales did not deserve
that. Instead of getting mad, they | 0:35:56 | 0:36:01 | |
nearly got even. Trailing by more in
53. Dangerously elusive, scoring | 0:36:01 | 0:36:11 | |
when you think you are safe. Rico
went over twice. That is why Wales | 0:36:11 | 0:36:19 | |
must keep waiting and the All Blacks
are the best in the world. Patrick | 0:36:19 | 0:36:29 | |
Geary, BBC News. | 0:36:29 | 0:36:31 | |
England made it three wins out
of three with a 48-14 victory over | 0:36:31 | 0:36:34 | |
Samoa at Twickenham. | 0:36:34 | 0:36:35 | |
The Samoans have lost every game
this Autumn but England only pulled | 0:36:35 | 0:36:38 | |
away in the second half,
Elliott Daly scored two of England's | 0:36:38 | 0:36:41 | |
seven tries in what proved to be
a record victory over Samoa. | 0:36:41 | 0:36:45 | |
Meanwhile, Ireland beat Argentina
in their final test. | 0:36:45 | 0:36:47 | |
David Stockdale was named man
of the match for scoring two dries. | 0:36:47 | 0:36:50 | |
CJ Stander got the other
with Johnny Sexton's kicking adding | 0:36:50 | 0:36:53 | |
to the final score
of 28-19 in Dublin. | 0:36:53 | 0:36:55 | |
England's Women scored ten tries
past Canada to pull off an Autumn | 0:36:55 | 0:36:58 | |
series whitewash at Twickenham. | 0:36:58 | 0:36:59 | |
It finished 69-19 with five tries
coming from Jess Breach who returned | 0:36:59 | 0:37:02 | |
to the side following injury. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:04 | |
There was also a hat-trick
from Abigail Dow to bring the total | 0:37:04 | 0:37:07 | |
number of tries across
all three tests to 32. | 0:37:07 | 0:37:10 | |
In the main game in
the Premier League yesterday, | 0:37:10 | 0:37:13 | |
Chelsea came from a goal down
to draw at Liverpool. | 0:37:13 | 0:37:15 | |
It was a former Chelsea player
who opened the scoring. | 0:37:15 | 0:37:18 | |
Mohamed Salah, with his 15th goal
for the Reds in just 20 games. | 0:37:18 | 0:37:22 | |
But the champions didn't let up. | 0:37:22 | 0:37:23 | |
Willian came off the bench
after scoring twice in midweek, | 0:37:23 | 0:37:26 | |
and equalised with just
over five minutes to go. | 0:37:26 | 0:37:34 | |
Incredible teams, unbelievable
attitudes from both sides. It was so | 0:37:34 | 0:37:39 | |
intense. After a week like this
which we both had, after the troops | 0:37:39 | 0:37:44 | |
we had to do and the journey, it was
one of the better jobs I have had my | 0:37:44 | 0:37:53 | |
life. -- trips. | 0:37:53 | 0:37:54 | |
Manchester United are within five
points of neighbours and league | 0:37:54 | 0:37:57 | |
leaders City, who play Huddersfield
later this afternoon. | 0:37:57 | 0:37:59 | |
Jose Mourinho's side have won every
home game this season. | 0:37:59 | 0:38:02 | |
But it was an own goal
from Brighton's Lewis Dunk that that | 0:38:02 | 0:38:05 | |
broke the deadlock
and sealed the win. | 0:38:05 | 0:38:11 | |
Disappointment for
Tottenham meanwhile. | 0:38:11 | 0:38:12 | |
They drew with West Brom,
who sacked manager Tony Pulis | 0:38:12 | 0:38:15 | |
in the week. | 0:38:15 | 0:38:15 | |
Gary Megson has temporary charge -
and Salomon Rondon put them ahead | 0:38:15 | 0:38:19 | |
in the third minute. | 0:38:19 | 0:38:20 | |
And it wasn't until late
in the second half when Harry Kane | 0:38:20 | 0:38:23 | |
scored Spurs' equaliser. | 0:38:23 | 0:38:24 | |
Mauricio Pochettino's men
are ten points off the top. | 0:38:24 | 0:38:31 | |
There were just two games
in the Scottish Premiership. | 0:38:31 | 0:38:33 | |
Hibernian missed the chance to go
second in the table after drawing | 0:38:33 | 0:38:36 | |
1-1 at Hamilton. | 0:38:36 | 0:38:37 | |
They took the lead
through Simon Murray. | 0:38:37 | 0:38:39 | |
But Antonio Rojano equalised
with just over a quarter of an hour | 0:38:39 | 0:38:42 | |
to go at New Douglas Park. | 0:38:42 | 0:38:44 | |
Hearts have now gone five games
without a win after they played out | 0:38:44 | 0:38:48 | |
a goal-less draw with Ross County. | 0:38:48 | 0:38:53 | |
Lewis Hamilton will have his work
cut out trying to end | 0:38:53 | 0:38:56 | |
the Formula One season with a win
after his Mercedes team-mate | 0:38:56 | 0:38:59 | |
beat him in qualifying
for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. | 0:38:59 | 0:39:01 | |
Valtteri Bottas smashed the track
record at the Yas Marina circuit | 0:39:01 | 0:39:04 | |
to claim the top spot on the grid
by more than a tenth of a second | 0:39:04 | 0:39:09 | |
from the new world champion. | 0:39:09 | 0:39:10 | |
It's the fourth pole of the season
for the Finn who has an outside | 0:39:10 | 0:39:14 | |
chance of finishing second
in the championship. | 0:39:14 | 0:39:16 | |
To do that, he needs to win the race
and hope Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel | 0:39:16 | 0:39:20 | |
finishes no higher than ninth. | 0:39:20 | 0:39:23 | |
He has already won it, though. When
I was a correspondent in Dubai, they | 0:39:23 | 0:39:31 | |
took me on a spin around that
circuit. I have never been quite so | 0:39:31 | 0:39:36 | |
sick in all my life. It was one of
the most embarrassing things. Don't | 0:39:36 | 0:39:41 | |
take this the wrong way, but I would
pay money to see that. The camera | 0:39:41 | 0:39:45 | |
was filming. I can imagine. I have
been in a rally car, it is | 0:39:45 | 0:39:52 | |
absolutely terrifying. But it is
amazing. You are not driving? No, I | 0:39:52 | 0:39:58 | |
was being driven. It was even worse.
If you are driving, you know where | 0:39:58 | 0:40:04 | |
the corners are coming up.
Especially in a car like that. He | 0:40:04 | 0:40:10 | |
said do you want to go around again?
I am fine. It is nice to see you. We | 0:40:10 | 0:40:18 | |
will talk later. A great experience,
those. -- though. | 0:40:18 | 0:40:26 | |
The changing of the guard
is a British institution, | 0:40:26 | 0:40:28 | |
with millions of tourists flocking
to Buckingham Palace every year | 0:40:28 | 0:40:31 | |
to watch the spectacle. | 0:40:31 | 0:40:32 | |
The duty usually falls
to the Army's Household Division, | 0:40:32 | 0:40:34 | |
famous for their red
coats and bearskin hats. | 0:40:34 | 0:40:37 | |
But today, for the very first time,
sailors from the Royal Navy | 0:40:37 | 0:40:40 | |
will lead the ceremony. | 0:40:40 | 0:40:41 | |
Breakfast's Tim Muffet has been
watching the final preparations. | 0:40:41 | 0:40:44 | |
86 sailors from 45 Royal Navy ships
and establishments. The final | 0:40:44 | 0:40:52 | |
rehearsals at Wellington barracks
for a moment of military history. It | 0:40:52 | 0:40:57 | |
is a massive day. The Royal Navy has
never conducted this duty before. | 0:40:57 | 0:41:01 | |
The Ministry of Defence described
2017 as the year of the navy, | 0:41:01 | 0:41:07 | |
prompted in part by the arrival of
its new aircraft character, HMAS | 0:41:07 | 0:41:11 | |
Queen Elizabeth. That is why they
will guide the monarch for the very | 0:41:11 | 0:41:16 | |
first time. We have been trained by
the guards who have been fantastic. | 0:41:16 | 0:41:19 | |
We have overcome challenges of
translating their orders into | 0:41:19 | 0:41:23 | |
action. We have individuals who have
just come back from the Gulf. We | 0:41:23 | 0:41:29 | |
have people who will deploy in
January back out to the | 0:41:29 | 0:41:33 | |
Mediterranean and to Somalia on
operations. And we also have | 0:41:33 | 0:41:36 | |
contingent members coming from
submarines as well. It is normally | 0:41:36 | 0:41:41 | |
soldiers from the Household Division
of the army who guard the monarch | 0:41:41 | 0:41:44 | |
and royal palaces. They have done so
since 1660. The changing of the | 0:41:44 | 0:41:51 | |
guard typically takes place outside
Buckingham Palace every two days. It | 0:41:51 | 0:41:56 | |
is one of the world's most famous
ceremonial events. The scallop | 0:41:56 | 0:42:02 | |
tunics, the bearskin caps, a vivid
symbol of return. -- scarlet. With | 0:42:02 | 0:42:07 | |
the distinctive outfits, it will be
a different thing for people to see. | 0:42:07 | 0:42:13 | |
As he leads proceedings, lieutenant
Commander Steve will be the captain. | 0:42:13 | 0:42:21 | |
The first of the Royal Navy since
1587. It is a great honour, a | 0:42:21 | 0:42:27 | |
fantastic privilege and honour to be
trusted with the security of the | 0:42:27 | 0:42:33 | |
monarch. As well as Buckingham
Palace, Royal Navy guarding duties | 0:42:33 | 0:42:37 | |
await outside castles, St James's
Palace, and the Tower of London. | 0:42:37 | 0:42:47 | |
Formed 357 years ago, a new
temporary role for the Royal Navy. | 0:42:47 | 0:42:51 | |
Tim Muffett, BBC News. | 0:42:51 | 0:42:54 | |
Hello. | 0:42:54 | 0:42:55 | |
This is Breakfast,
with Ben Thompson and Tina Daheley. | 0:42:55 | 0:42:57 | |
Here's a summary of this morning's
main stories from BBC News. | 0:42:57 | 0:43:00 | |
People who fly drones will be
required to take safety awareness | 0:43:00 | 0:43:03 | |
tests as part of a government
clampdown on rogue operators. | 0:43:03 | 0:43:06 | |
Owners will be banned
from flying them near airports, | 0:43:06 | 0:43:08 | |
while the police will be given
new powers to seize the machines. | 0:43:08 | 0:43:11 | |
They are part of plans to crack down
on criminal and unsafe use | 0:43:11 | 0:43:15 | |
of drones, which have been used
for smuggling and have been involved | 0:43:15 | 0:43:18 | |
in near-misses with aeroplanes. | 0:43:18 | 0:43:19 | |
There's concern that a volcano
on the Indonesian island of Bali may | 0:43:19 | 0:43:22 | |
be about to erupt. | 0:43:22 | 0:43:24 | |
Mount Agung, which is currently
blowing a plume of thick ash | 0:43:24 | 0:43:26 | |
into the sky, last erupted in 1963. | 0:43:26 | 0:43:28 | |
It is definitely getting more cold.
Here is the weather. Good morning. | 0:43:28 | 0:43:32 | |
It is pretty cold. Another chilly
start to this morning. A cold | 0:43:32 | 0:43:35 | |
weekend going on. Some changes to
come over the next 24 hours. Today, | 0:43:35 | 0:43:38 | |
chilly, mostly bright, wintry
showers. Turning wet and windy | 0:43:38 | 0:43:41 | |
tonight. With that, briefly becoming
more mild. Briefly, though, is the | 0:43:41 | 0:43:45 | |
operative word. Not mild out there
at the moment. Wintry showers | 0:43:45 | 0:43:49 | |
overnight, in the west, the risk of
ice. Take it easy on the road and | 0:43:49 | 0:43:55 | |
pavement in the next few hours.
Showers in the south-west and into | 0:43:55 | 0:43:59 | |
Wales during the first part of the
day. The south-east, East Anglia, | 0:43:59 | 0:44:02 | |
largely dry. A beautiful and bright
start to the day. Showers in | 0:44:02 | 0:44:09 | |
north-west England. The risk of ice
to be a similar story for Northern | 0:44:09 | 0:44:12 | |
Ireland. Showers in western
Scotland. Over the high ground, | 0:44:12 | 0:44:16 | |
showers continuing to be wintry to
be snow still piling up over the | 0:44:16 | 0:44:19 | |
hills and mountains of western
Scotland. Through the day, a repeat | 0:44:19 | 0:44:25 | |
performance from yesterday. The best
of the dry and bright weather in the | 0:44:25 | 0:44:30 | |
east. Showers in the west. As we go
through the day, showers tending to | 0:44:30 | 0:44:34 | |
fade. That is only as the showers
fade. Outbreaks of rain into the | 0:44:34 | 0:44:40 | |
afternoon. Temperatures in western
areas are getting to nudge up a bit | 0:44:40 | 0:44:46 | |
by the end of the day. The evening
and overnight, rain in Northern | 0:44:46 | 0:44:51 | |
Ireland. Rain in Scotland with snow
of the high ground. Wet weather for | 0:44:51 | 0:44:56 | |
parts of northern England and Wales
overnight. With strong winds, we | 0:44:56 | 0:45:00 | |
could easily see gales in places.
Ahead of the rain band, mild air. | 0:45:00 | 0:45:06 | |
Monday morning starting at 11
degrees in Plymouth. Cold air in | 0:45:06 | 0:45:11 | |
Scotland. During tomorrow, be cold a
sweeping south. Rain moving in south | 0:45:11 | 0:45:15 | |
Wales in southern England through
the morning. A sharp burst of heavy | 0:45:15 | 0:45:21 | |
rain. Then spells of sunshine.
Showers as well. Wintry showers in | 0:45:21 | 0:45:27 | |
Wintry showers in the high ground of
Scotland. Also windy. Gales in a few | 0:45:27 | 0:45:32 | |
places through the day. Temperatures
coming down again from the north. | 0:45:32 | 0:45:35 | |
That is the story through the week
ahead. Monday into Tuesday, this | 0:45:35 | 0:45:39 | |
area of low pressure goes east.
Strong winds. Follow the isobars up | 0:45:39 | 0:45:44 | |
to the Arctic. That is where the air
will be coming from during the week | 0:45:44 | 0:45:49 | |
ahead. A decidedly chilly feel for
the weather with single-digit | 0:45:49 | 0:45:52 | |
temperatures wherever you are across
the country. Lots of crisp sunshine | 0:45:52 | 0:45:59 | |
and showers, with some of them
wintry. More mild, briefly, but | 0:45:59 | 0:46:04 | |
basically, through the week ahead,
it is cold. As you would expect for | 0:46:04 | 0:46:07 | |
the time of year. | 0:46:07 | 0:46:12 | |
How do you feel about Advent
calendars? The chocolate ones don't | 0:46:12 | 0:46:16 | |
last for 24 days! You might feel
differently about another one we've | 0:46:16 | 0:46:21 | |
got, pork scratchings every day of
the month? I'm with you, terrible! | 0:46:21 | 0:46:26 | |
Ben, thanks very much. There's a new
growing trend of stuff like this | 0:46:26 | 0:46:33 | |
with advent calendars, that's not an
advent Calander, it's just a 24 pack | 0:46:33 | 0:46:40 | |
of pork scratchings. This is a more
traditional one. You can get beauty | 0:46:40 | 0:46:46 | |
advent calendars. You can get all
sorts, as a kid I wasn't allowed | 0:46:46 | 0:46:53 | |
different ones, it was a normal one.
Isn't it just easier to buy a box of | 0:46:53 | 0:47:02 | |
chocolates? Send us your thoughts,
is this what you should have for | 0:47:02 | 0:47:07 | |
advent calendars? Is it a sign that
it's the commercial world getting | 0:47:07 | 0:47:19 | |
out of control? We will talk about
that later. | 0:47:19 | 0:47:22 | |
Now it's time for a round-up | 0:47:22 | 0:47:23 | |
of the week's technology
news in Click. | 0:47:23 | 0:47:25 | |
On Click we often look out
for technology which can help | 0:47:43 | 0:47:47 | |
save people's lives. | 0:47:47 | 0:47:53 | |
For example, we went to Rwanda
to look at how drones were speeding | 0:47:53 | 0:47:56 | |
up deliveries of blood
and recently closer to home, | 0:47:56 | 0:47:59 | |
I looked at how the response times
of the air ambulance in London | 0:47:59 | 0:48:02 | |
were being improved
by better connectivity. | 0:48:02 | 0:48:06 | |
If you live in the developed world,
you'll probably take it for granted | 0:48:06 | 0:48:10 | |
that you can dial the emergency
number, someone will answer | 0:48:10 | 0:48:13 | |
and help will arrive. | 0:48:13 | 0:48:14 | |
Well, in Kenya, that's not the case. | 0:48:14 | 0:48:19 | |
In the capital Nairobi alone,
there are more than 50 different | 0:48:19 | 0:48:28 | |
numbers for different ambulance
services and if you need a fire | 0:48:28 | 0:48:31 | |
engine, well, that's
at least a dozen more, | 0:48:31 | 0:48:33 | |
and even then there is no guarantee
they'll be able to get to you. | 0:48:33 | 0:48:36 | |
Well, Kate Russell has been to meet
a couple of entrepreneurs who have | 0:48:36 | 0:48:40 | |
had the great idea of amalgamating
them all into one service. | 0:48:40 | 0:48:43 | |
Think Uber for emergency services. | 0:48:43 | 0:48:44 | |
For most living in a modern
metropolis, calling an ambulance | 0:48:45 | 0:48:48 | |
involves dialling
a single short code. | 0:48:48 | 0:48:50 | |
But in a city more than 6 million
people, Nairobi has no functioning | 0:48:50 | 0:48:53 | |
central emergency number. | 0:48:53 | 0:49:00 | |
With five public hospitals
and dozens of private hospitals | 0:49:00 | 0:49:03 | |
and clinics all operating
independently, you have to know | 0:49:03 | 0:49:05 | |
who to call if you need an ambulance
here and hope there's someone | 0:49:05 | 0:49:08 | |
on duty to pick up. | 0:49:08 | 0:49:12 | |
Caitlin and Maria run
a start-up in Nairobi hoping | 0:49:12 | 0:49:14 | |
to address this problem. | 0:49:14 | 0:49:20 | |
You just take for granted that 911
exists and we did as well, | 0:49:20 | 0:49:23 | |
both of us had lived here for years
and we never even considered it | 0:49:23 | 0:49:27 | |
and we'd worked in health
and I never even thought | 0:49:27 | 0:49:30 | |
what I would do in an emergency. | 0:49:30 | 0:49:32 | |
We just started asking people,
have you seen an ambulance before? | 0:49:32 | 0:49:35 | |
Who has an ambulance? | 0:49:35 | 0:49:36 | |
We would go and meet and find
ambulances in parking lots | 0:49:36 | 0:49:39 | |
and we started a really simple tally
of how many ambulances | 0:49:39 | 0:49:42 | |
we could find. | 0:49:42 | 0:49:46 | |
We realised there were so many
ambulances and nobody has any idea | 0:49:46 | 0:49:49 | |
where they are. | 0:49:49 | 0:49:50 | |
Flare's aim is to connect emergency
response vehicles on an Uber-style | 0:49:50 | 0:49:53 | |
platform that can route calls
to an operator that can | 0:49:53 | 0:49:56 | |
get there quickest. | 0:49:56 | 0:49:59 | |
When the call comes in I get to know
the patient's location, | 0:49:59 | 0:50:02 | |
I click on the location. | 0:50:02 | 0:50:08 | |
We can see all the vehicles that
are within my range. | 0:50:08 | 0:50:13 | |
I can select the ambulance service,
which is six minutes away. | 0:50:13 | 0:50:17 | |
Let's click on the ambulance service
I'm going to dispatch, | 0:50:17 | 0:50:20 | |
it gives me the contact
number and their location | 0:50:20 | 0:50:23 | |
and the estimated time. | 0:50:23 | 0:50:24 | |
It also gives me the
direction route for them. | 0:50:24 | 0:50:26 | |
Sorry, sorry? | 0:50:26 | 0:50:35 | |
Leah, emergency! | 0:50:35 | 0:50:37 | |
A busy city hospital,
we left Patrick to his work | 0:50:37 | 0:50:43 | |
and headed out onto the streets
to see first-hand the traffic | 0:50:43 | 0:50:46 | |
problems that make this kind
of operator routeing a lifesaver. | 0:50:46 | 0:50:53 | |
This was especially important
when violence broke out | 0:50:53 | 0:50:55 | |
during the October elections. | 0:50:55 | 0:50:56 | |
Flare's ambulances were 33% busier
attending to emergencies | 0:50:56 | 0:50:58 | |
in these hotspots. | 0:50:58 | 0:51:04 | |
The response times we've seen have
gone down from 162 minutes, | 0:51:04 | 0:51:07 | |
which is the average,
which is nearly three hours, | 0:51:07 | 0:51:09 | |
which is insane, to
about 15-20 minutes. | 0:51:09 | 0:51:14 | |
So far, the platform has
30 ambulances online, | 0:51:14 | 0:51:16 | |
with a goal to reach at least 50
by the end of January next year. | 0:51:16 | 0:51:22 | |
An annual membership fee gives
patients access to the emergency | 0:51:22 | 0:51:26 | |
hotline and covers the cost of any
callouts, which otherwise would have | 0:51:26 | 0:51:30 | |
had to be paid by credit card before
an ambulance is dispatched. | 0:51:30 | 0:51:33 | |
The fee is currently around $15-$20
but Flare say this might change | 0:51:33 | 0:51:36 | |
as the service matures. | 0:51:36 | 0:51:41 | |
Eventually, Flare wants to add more
concierge-style features | 0:51:41 | 0:51:43 | |
for its members, like real-time
updates and treatment information. | 0:51:43 | 0:51:45 | |
The data being collected might also
prove useful to help co-ordinate | 0:51:45 | 0:51:49 | |
better service across the city. | 0:51:49 | 0:51:57 | |
One of the things we recently
learned is there's a lack | 0:51:57 | 0:52:00 | |
of ambulances between 7am
and 9am and the reason | 0:52:00 | 0:52:03 | |
for that is that the night team
is handing over to the day team, | 0:52:03 | 0:52:07 | |
so all providers are doing that
shift change, so there's a delay | 0:52:07 | 0:52:10 | |
in that happening so then
there aren't enough ambulances | 0:52:10 | 0:52:12 | |
online to respond
to the emergencies. | 0:52:12 | 0:52:15 | |
Fire means even bigger problems
for emergency callouts in Nairobi. | 0:52:15 | 0:52:18 | |
As well as the fractured
co-ordination issues seen | 0:52:18 | 0:52:24 | |
with ambulances, there
is a desperate shortage of both | 0:52:24 | 0:52:26 | |
trucks and water supplies. | 0:52:26 | 0:52:39 | |
Tragedies like this in Nairobi's
vast clothes market Gikomba | 0:52:39 | 0:52:41 | |
are all too common and often left
burning for much longer | 0:52:41 | 0:52:44 | |
than they should be
because of a simple lack | 0:52:44 | 0:52:46 | |
of access to resources. | 0:52:46 | 0:52:47 | |
999 goes directly to
the police headquarters, | 0:52:47 | 0:52:49 | |
the police control room. | 0:52:49 | 0:52:57 | |
Once you call the police control
room, they start looking | 0:52:57 | 0:53:00 | |
for the nearest ambulance service
or the nearest fire service. | 0:53:00 | 0:53:03 | |
There's no radio linkage anywhere. | 0:53:03 | 0:53:04 | |
The phones they have
belong to individuals. | 0:53:04 | 0:53:06 | |
The fire and ambulance service
are controlled separately | 0:53:06 | 0:53:08 | |
by different players. | 0:53:08 | 0:53:12 | |
ICT Fire and Rescue is the first
firefighting school | 0:53:12 | 0:53:14 | |
of its kind in Kenya. | 0:53:14 | 0:53:20 | |
I went to visit them and got
to try out some training. | 0:53:20 | 0:53:23 | |
Flare is working with the school
to add as many firetrucks | 0:53:23 | 0:53:26 | |
as possible to their Nairobi
coverage, as well as locating | 0:53:26 | 0:53:29 | |
available public and private water
supplies to add to the map. | 0:53:29 | 0:53:34 | |
There are enough hydrants
in Nairobi theoretically, | 0:53:34 | 0:53:35 | |
they were planned for,
but a lot of the hydrants have been | 0:53:35 | 0:53:39 | |
built on top of, so we're
surveying Nairobi to see | 0:53:39 | 0:53:42 | |
where there are publicly available
hydrants and where their private | 0:53:42 | 0:53:44 | |
hydrants are that we can
actually tap into. | 0:53:44 | 0:53:50 | |
At this stage, it's unclear how
the membership funding model | 0:53:50 | 0:53:55 | |
will play out for fire cover
as callout costs could be radically | 0:53:55 | 0:53:58 | |
higher and more variable
than ambulance work. | 0:53:58 | 0:54:04 | |
Flare has high hopes of becoming
the 911 call equivalent | 0:54:04 | 0:54:07 | |
for the whole of
Kenya in the future. | 0:54:07 | 0:54:12 | |
HotStepper is a wayfinding app that
uses this scantily clad character | 0:54:23 | 0:54:28 | |
to guide you to your
designated destination. | 0:54:28 | 0:54:32 | |
It is doing so by combining AR,
geolocation data, and mapping, | 0:54:32 | 0:54:35 | |
and while it's not the only app
to overlay directions on the real | 0:54:35 | 0:54:39 | |
world, it certainly has
its unique character. | 0:54:39 | 0:54:44 | |
He's just doing a dance for some
people that are walking | 0:54:44 | 0:54:47 | |
past the pub. | 0:54:47 | 0:54:48 | |
You must be Luke. | 0:54:48 | 0:54:49 | |
Hiya. | 0:54:49 | 0:54:54 | |
Lara, good to meet you. | 0:54:54 | 0:54:55 | |
You too. | 0:54:55 | 0:54:56 | |
So why am I following
this man around? | 0:54:56 | 0:54:58 | |
Why have you designed
him looking like this? | 0:54:58 | 0:55:00 | |
After the year we have had in 2017,
I think we all needed some humour | 0:55:00 | 0:55:04 | |
so it just makes it more
interesting to get from A to B. | 0:55:04 | 0:55:08 | |
There are a lot of
navigation apps out there. | 0:55:08 | 0:55:10 | |
Why are people going
to choose this one? | 0:55:10 | 0:55:12 | |
Some people find maps
on their phones quite | 0:55:12 | 0:55:15 | |
complicated to use. | 0:55:15 | 0:55:23 | |
We've also put in gigantic 3-D
arrows at the end of the road | 0:55:23 | 0:55:27 | |
so you can follow him and can
you also see from the arrows | 0:55:27 | 0:55:30 | |
where you want to go. | 0:55:30 | 0:55:32 | |
There are some challenges -
we don't actually know where a road | 0:55:32 | 0:55:35 | |
begins and a pavement stops,
so we have to kind of do our best | 0:55:35 | 0:55:39 | |
to calculate where we think that is. | 0:55:39 | 0:55:41 | |
To make it look as believable
as possible, what we're doing | 0:55:41 | 0:55:44 | |
is trying to find out
where we think you are, | 0:55:44 | 0:55:46 | |
what the weather
is like where you are, | 0:55:46 | 0:55:48 | |
so if it's a sunny day or a cloudy
day, and then specifically | 0:55:48 | 0:55:52 | |
the location of the sun. | 0:55:52 | 0:55:53 | |
And if we can work out where the sun
is, we can then render his shadow | 0:55:53 | 0:55:58 | |
naturally to where it should be. | 0:55:58 | 0:55:59 | |
But when you're not having fun
on foot, then maybe you're trying | 0:55:59 | 0:56:03 | |
to find a place to leave your car. | 0:56:03 | 0:56:05 | |
Well, AR measuring app AirMeasure
are prototyping a function to help | 0:56:05 | 0:56:08 | |
you parallel park -
not something you would want | 0:56:08 | 0:56:10 | |
any inaccuracy on. | 0:56:10 | 0:56:11 | |
In the meantime, the app can be used
for measuring furniture, | 0:56:11 | 0:56:14 | |
creating a floor plan,
or seeing how tall you are. | 0:56:14 | 0:56:17 | |
But if you are more focused
on finding your way around and have | 0:56:17 | 0:56:20 | |
taken a shine to HotStepper,
just don't lose your friend | 0:56:20 | 0:56:23 | |
or you might lose your way. | 0:56:23 | 0:56:25 | |
OK, you cannot miss that arrow
but where has my man gone? | 0:56:25 | 0:56:28 | |
Where is he? | 0:56:28 | 0:56:29 | |
When James Bond used a jet pack
to escape the bad guys | 0:56:31 | 0:56:34 | |
in Thunderball, the world went
jet pack mad. | 0:56:34 | 0:56:40 | |
But the US military-designed
Bell Rocket Belt that he used | 0:56:40 | 0:56:43 | |
was later scrapped due to its high
price and limited flight time. | 0:56:43 | 0:56:47 | |
Almost 60 years on, science fiction
is finally becoming science fact. | 0:56:47 | 0:56:50 | |
Several companies, and even
individuals around the world, | 0:56:50 | 0:56:52 | |
have taken to the skies in recent
years to show off their versions | 0:56:52 | 0:56:55 | |
of a jet pack. | 0:56:55 | 0:57:01 | |
And recently, I was invited
to strap myself into one. | 0:57:01 | 0:57:04 | |
Fortunately, this was only in VR. | 0:57:04 | 0:57:12 | |
OK, here we go. | 0:57:12 | 0:57:13 | |
We're going to go up. | 0:57:13 | 0:57:15 | |
OK! | 0:57:15 | 0:57:18 | |
The real thing has been built
and tested by New Zealand company | 0:57:18 | 0:57:21 | |
Martin Aircraft, which has now been
bought by the KuangChi Science | 0:57:21 | 0:57:24 | |
Company in China. | 0:57:24 | 0:57:29 | |
First things first -
technically, it isn't a jet pack. | 0:57:29 | 0:57:39 | |
It lifts off using two ducted
fans which are powered | 0:57:39 | 0:57:41 | |
by a petrol engine. | 0:57:41 | 0:57:43 | |
It's still in testing but the team
hopes that by the time it is ready, | 0:57:43 | 0:57:47 | |
it will be able to fly as fast as 40
kilometres an hour at an altitude | 0:57:47 | 0:57:51 | |
of 2,500 feet. | 0:57:51 | 0:57:58 | |
On a single tank, it should last
for about 30 minutes covering | 0:57:58 | 0:58:01 | |
distances of 20 kilometres,
carrying about 100 kilos. | 0:58:01 | 0:58:04 | |
And KuangChi says it will be used
for far more than just fulfilling | 0:58:04 | 0:58:07 | |
the dream of human flight. | 0:58:07 | 0:58:08 | |
TRANSLATION: What can we do
if there are people stranded | 0:58:08 | 0:58:11 | |
in a high-rise fire? | 0:58:11 | 0:58:12 | |
This jet pack can reach places
where a helicopter cannot. | 0:58:12 | 0:58:15 | |
A helicopter requires space
but with a jet pack, | 0:58:15 | 0:58:17 | |
you can get very near
and hose the fire down. | 0:58:17 | 0:58:26 | |
Martin Aircraft has been developing
flight technology for over three | 0:58:26 | 0:58:29 | |
decades and previously thought it
would start selling these | 0:58:29 | 0:58:31 | |
by last year. | 0:58:31 | 0:58:32 | |
Now, the company hopes the Chinese
financial boost will finally be | 0:58:32 | 0:58:35 | |
enough to get it off the ground. | 0:58:35 | 0:58:37 | |
Back at my VR demo, I am starting
to realise I may not be the ideal | 0:58:37 | 0:58:41 | |
jet pack pilot. | 0:58:41 | 0:58:42 | |
Yes, that's quite enough for now. | 0:58:42 | 0:58:44 | |

As always, there is plenty more
happening on Facebook | 0:58:46 | 0:58:49 | |

Hello. | 1:00:14 | 1:00:15 | |
This is Breakfast,
with Ben Thompson and Tina Daheley. | 1:00:15 | 1:00:17 | |
New regulations are announced
to tackle rogue drone operators. | 1:00:17 | 1:00:19 | |
People who use drones will have
to take safety tests and the police | 1:00:19 | 1:00:23 | |
will be given more powers
to stop their illegal use. | 1:00:23 | 1:00:39 | |
Good morning. | 1:00:39 | 1:00:40 | |
It's Sunday the 26th of November. | 1:00:40 | 1:00:42 | |
Also this morning: | 1:00:42 | 1:00:45 | |
Mounting pressure to settle
the question of the Irish | 1:00:45 | 1:00:47 | |
border after Brexit. | 1:00:47 | 1:00:48 | |

of Ireland says his government | 1:00:48 | 1:00:51 | |
will play tough to the end. | 1:00:51 | 1:00:53 | |

in their second innings, | 1:01:09 | 1:01:12 | |
the Aussies need just 170 to win. | 1:01:12 | 1:01:17 | |
The current score is 87 without
loss. | 1:01:17 | 1:01:19 | |

And Ben has the weather. | 1:01:28 | 1:01:33 | |
Good morning. A chilly weekend of
weather. Sunshine and showers. | 1:01:33 | 1:01:42 | |
Things clouding over with rain in
the west later. More details on the | 1:01:42 | 1:01:46 | |
way. Thank you very much. | 1:01:46 | 1:01:51 | |
Good morning. | 1:01:51 | 1:01:52 | |
First, our main story. | 1:01:52 | 1:01:53 | |
People who fly drones will be
required to take safety awareness | 1:01:53 | 1:01:56 | |
tests as part of a government
clampdown on rogue operators. | 1:01:56 | 1:01:59 | |
Owners will be banned
from flying them near airports, | 1:01:59 | 1:02:01 | |
while the police will be given
new powers to seize the machines. | 1:02:01 | 1:02:05 | |
They are part of plans to crack down
on criminal and unsafe use | 1:02:05 | 1:02:08 | |
of drones, which have
been used for smuggling, | 1:02:08 | 1:02:10 | |
and have been involved
in near-misses with aeroplanes. | 1:02:10 | 1:02:12 | |
Here's our business
correspondent, Joe Lynam. | 1:02:12 | 1:02:14 | |
They are getting bigger,
and yet lighter. | 1:02:14 | 1:02:16 | |
They can carry heavier items
and fly even further. | 1:02:16 | 1:02:18 | |
They will soon fly into water
and go back out again. | 1:02:18 | 1:02:21 | |
The government wants to tap
into these new technologies but also | 1:02:21 | 1:02:24 | |
prevent abuse of drones. | 1:02:24 | 1:02:28 | |
The proposed Drone Bill could mean
that owners of drones weighing more | 1:02:28 | 1:02:32 | |
than 250 grams will need
to register and do a test. | 1:02:32 | 1:02:35 | |
They'll be banned from flying
near airports or higher | 1:02:35 | 1:02:37 | |
than 120 metres. | 1:02:37 | 1:02:44 | |
Police will get new powers to seize
unmanned aerial vehicles. | 1:02:44 | 1:02:47 | |
And the new Aviation Minister also
wants Britain to tap into the wider | 1:02:47 | 1:02:51 | |
benefits of drones. | 1:02:51 | 1:02:52 | |
We've looked at the drones today
which can help in the construction | 1:02:52 | 1:02:55 | |
industry, in the mining industry,
on offshore oil rigs. | 1:02:55 | 1:02:57 | |
And what's really exciting
is that they can do jobs | 1:02:57 | 1:03:00 | |
which actually put people at risk,
and so hopefully it will help | 1:03:00 | 1:03:03 | |
with safety as well. | 1:03:03 | 1:03:08 | |
And the safety concerns
were highlighted in July | 1:03:08 | 1:03:10 | |
when Gatwick Airport had to close
when a drone was flown under a plane | 1:03:10 | 1:03:14 | |
about to land. | 1:03:14 | 1:03:15 | |
There have been a few
near-misses at Leeds, | 1:03:15 | 1:03:17 | |
Bradford, Cork, and Manchester
Airports since 2015. | 1:03:17 | 1:03:19 | |
Joe Lynam, BBC News. | 1:03:19 | 1:03:24 | |
After 7am, we'll speak
to a representative of one | 1:03:24 | 1:03:26 | |
of the world's biggest drone
manufacturers about the changes. | 1:03:26 | 1:03:32 | |
Ireland's European Commissioner has
urged the UK not to leave the single | 1:03:32 | 1:03:36 | |
market and customs union. | 1:03:36 | 1:03:37 | |
Phil Hogan told The Observer that it
would be the best way to avoid | 1:03:37 | 1:03:40 | |
stringent border controls
between Northern Ireland | 1:03:40 | 1:03:42 | |
and the Republic. | 1:03:42 | 1:03:43 | |
Theresa May hopes the EU will agree
to move the Brexit talks onto trade | 1:03:43 | 1:03:47 | |
at next month's summit. | 1:03:47 | 1:03:48 | |
But European negotiators say
the border issue must be settled | 1:03:48 | 1:03:51 | |
first, as our political
correspondent, Chris Mason, | 1:03:51 | 1:03:52 | |
explains. | 1:03:52 | 1:04:02 | |
The government is desperate to move
these Brexit talks on to the future | 1:04:02 | 1:04:06 | |
relationship to talk about trade. | 1:04:06 | 1:04:07 | |
But, in order to do that,
they have three big issues they have | 1:04:07 | 1:04:11 | |
got to be seen to be making
significant progress on. | 1:04:11 | 1:04:14 | |
Talk of a divorce bill,
talk of citizens rights, | 1:04:14 | 1:04:16 | |
that is Brits elsewhere
and European citizens in the UK, | 1:04:16 | 1:04:19 | |
and then this issue
which is becoming a really big | 1:04:19 | 1:04:21 | |
sticking point, the Irish border,
the border between Northern Ireland | 1:04:21 | 1:04:24 | |
and the Republic of Ireland. | 1:04:24 | 1:04:26 | |
At the moment it is
almost invisible. | 1:04:26 | 1:04:27 | |
But when the UK leaves
the European Union, that will be | 1:04:27 | 1:04:30 | |
the frontier between
the UK and the EU. | 1:04:30 | 1:04:33 | |
Now, the argument is it cannot be
a hard border, something | 1:04:33 | 1:04:36 | |
that is very physical
and very obvious to see. | 1:04:36 | 1:04:38 | |
But, how does the UK achieve that
if it is leaving the single market | 1:04:38 | 1:04:42 | |
and the customs union? | 1:04:42 | 1:04:43 | |
In other words, will be operating
economies under different rules | 1:04:43 | 1:04:46 | |
to the European Union. | 1:04:46 | 1:04:47 | |
There is a lot of talk trying
to find a technological solution, | 1:04:47 | 1:04:50 | |
but there is very little talk
about precise details. | 1:04:50 | 1:04:52 | |
And Ireland wields a huge amount
of power at the moment as they can | 1:04:52 | 1:04:56 | |
veto, they can stop,
the UK being able to move | 1:04:56 | 1:04:58 | |
on to the second stage
of the Brexit talks. | 1:04:58 | 1:05:19 | |
And as if this was not
all complicated and involved enough, | 1:05:19 | 1:05:22 | |
there's even the potential
for an Irish general election before | 1:05:22 | 1:05:25 | |
Christmas because of
political turbulence there. | 1:05:25 | 1:05:27 | |
And there is plenty of political
turbulence here, and it's happening | 1:05:27 | 1:05:30 | |
elsewhere in Europe,
right at the heart of these | 1:05:30 | 1:05:32 | |
Brexit negotiations. | 1:05:32 | 1:05:40 | |
A police officer has been seriously
injured after a van was driven | 1:05:40 | 1:05:44 | |
at him in Liverpool. | 1:05:44 | 1:05:45 | |
It happened in the Norris Green area
of the city after a number | 1:05:45 | 1:05:48 | |
of officers tried
to stop the vehicle. | 1:05:48 | 1:05:50 | |
Merseyside Police have called
the incident a "despicable attack" | 1:05:50 | 1:05:53 | |
and say a man has been arrested. | 1:05:53 | 1:06:03 | |
Egyptian officials say gunmen
who killed more than 300 people | 1:06:03 | 1:06:06 | |
during an attack on a mosque
in Sinai were carrying the flag | 1:06:06 | 1:06:09 | |
of the Islamic State group. | 1:06:09 | 1:06:10 | |
No-one has claimed responsibility
yet, but Egypt's military says it's | 1:06:10 | 1:06:13 | |
conducted airstrikes in response. | 1:06:13 | 1:06:14 | |
Here's our Middle East
correspondent, Orla Guerin. | 1:06:14 | 1:06:16 | |
Warplanes take to the skies
bound for Northern Sinai. | 1:06:16 | 1:06:18 | |
President Sisi has promised Egypt
will avenge its martyrs. | 1:06:18 | 1:06:21 | |
The army says airstrikes destroyed
destroyed weapons stockpiles | 1:06:21 | 1:06:23 | |
and vehicles used by the militants
who attacked the mosque. | 1:06:23 | 1:06:26 | |
It still stands, but is now
a monument to sorrow. | 1:06:26 | 1:06:29 | |
In the general hospitalin
Ismailiyah, one of the young | 1:06:29 | 1:06:31 | |
survivors. | 1:06:31 | 1:06:41 | |
Suleiman is 13. | 1:06:41 | 1:06:41 | |
He was shot twice,
in the hand and the leg. | 1:06:41 | 1:06:44 | |
And he's not the only
casualty in his family. | 1:06:44 | 1:06:47 | |
In the bed nearby,
his 17-year-old cousin, | 1:06:47 | 1:06:49 | |
Eid, also shot twice,
once in the back. | 1:06:49 | 1:06:51 | |
His mother is looking
to God to punish those | 1:06:51 | 1:06:53 | |
who brought such torment. | 1:06:53 | 1:06:54 | |
TRANSLATION: I hope their hearts
will be burned just like ours. | 1:06:54 | 1:07:05 | |
The women have all become widowed. | 1:07:05 | 1:07:06 | |
There are no men left. | 1:07:06 | 1:07:25 | |
They are all gone. | 1:07:25 | 1:07:26 | |
They are all gone. | 1:07:26 | 1:07:27 | |
Here, doctors consoling
Ahmed Saleem, who made it out alive | 1:07:27 | 1:07:30 | |
without two of his brothers
and two of their children. | 1:07:30 | 1:07:33 | |
"There was shooting," he said. | 1:07:33 | 1:07:34 | |
"People just started running." | 1:07:34 | 1:07:35 | |
"Some jumped out of the window." | 1:07:35 | 1:07:37 | |
"It is like I fell into a coma." | 1:07:37 | 1:07:39 | |
"God saved some of us,
but others lost their lives." | 1:07:39 | 1:07:42 | |
Loss on this scale has brought
shock, uncertainty, and fear. | 1:07:42 | 1:07:48 | |
The village of Bir al-Abd has been
robbed of a quarter of its men. | 1:07:48 | 1:07:52 | |
For now, at least, Egyptians
seem united in grief. | 1:07:52 | 1:07:54 | |

Pakistan's government has asked
the army to deploy troops to restore | 1:08:08 | 1:08:11 | |
order in the capital, Islamabad,
after clashes between police | 1:08:11 | 1:08:14 | |
and Islamist protesters. | 1:08:14 | 1:08:14 | |
Nearly 200 people were injured in
clashes with the police yesterday. | 1:08:14 | 1:08:17 | |
The demonstrators are demanding
the removal of a government minister | 1:08:17 | 1:08:20 | |
they accuse of blasphemy. | 1:08:20 | 1:08:21 | |
Violence has also spread
to other cities, including | 1:08:21 | 1:08:23 | |
Lahore and Karachi. | 1:08:23 | 1:08:35 | |
A candlelight vigil has been
held for the teenager, | 1:08:35 | 1:08:37 | |
Gaia Pope, a week
after her body was found. | 1:08:37 | 1:08:40 | |
People gathered in Prince Albert
Gardens in Dorset to light candles | 1:08:40 | 1:08:43 | |
and leave flowers in memory
of the 19-year-old, whose | 1:08:43 | 1:08:45 | |
disappearance sparked a massive
campaign to find her. | 1:08:45 | 1:08:47 | |
Police say they are treating her
death as "unexplained." | 1:08:47 | 1:08:55 | |
There's concern that a volcano
on the Indonesian island of Bali may | 1:08:55 | 1:08:58 | |
be about to erupt. | 1:08:58 | 1:08:59 | |
Mount Agung, which is currently
blowing a plume of thick ash | 1:08:59 | 1:09:02 | |
into the sky, last erupted in 1963. | 1:09:02 | 1:09:04 | |
Around 25,000 people
have been evacuated, | 1:09:04 | 1:09:06 | |
and some flights
have been cancelled. | 1:09:06 | 1:09:07 | |
Andrew Plant has the latest. | 1:09:07 | 1:09:18 | |
Plumes of black smoke as people
on the Indonesian island of Bali | 1:09:18 | 1:09:21 | |
look on from a distance. | 1:09:21 | 1:09:22 | |
The fear is that this volcano
could be about to erupt. | 1:09:22 | 1:09:25 | |
Thousands have now been told
to move away from the area. | 1:09:25 | 1:09:28 | |
Airlines have been warned
about volcanic ash in the air | 1:09:28 | 1:09:31 | |
from the billowing smoke more
than 1,500 metres high. | 1:09:31 | 1:09:33 | |
Many flights here have
now been cancelled. | 1:09:33 | 1:09:35 | |
It's really kind of inconvenient,
but there's not much you can do, | 1:09:35 | 1:09:47 | |
it's a natural disaster. | 1:09:47 | 1:09:48 | |
So, umm, yeah, it's... | 1:09:48 | 1:09:49 | |
Yeah, one of those things. | 1:09:49 | 1:09:51 | |
It's kind of difficult. | 1:09:51 | 1:09:52 | |
I lost my bag as well,
so I have been waiting for my bag, | 1:09:52 | 1:09:56 | |
but now I'm just going to go back
to the hotel and come back tomorrow, | 1:09:56 | 1:10:00 | |
I guess. | 1:10:00 | 1:10:07 | |
The volcano has been showing signs
of unrest since September, | 1:10:07 | 1:10:10 | |
with many leaving their homes
for temporary shelters. | 1:10:10 | 1:10:12 | |
Now, people within eight miles have
been told to evacuate, | 1:10:12 | 1:10:24 | |
with more than 120,000
displaced, scattered in camps | 1:10:24 | 1:10:26 | |
across the island. | 1:10:26 | 1:10:27 | |
The mountain is sacred
to people here. | 1:10:27 | 1:10:29 | |
The red warning, though,
means experts believe an eruption | 1:10:29 | 1:10:31 | |
could happen at any time,
and no-one is taking any chances. | 1:10:31 | 1:10:34 | |
It would be the volcano's first
full-scale eruption since 1963 | 1:10:34 | 1:10:37 | |
when more than 1,000
people lost their lives. | 1:10:37 | 1:10:39 | |
Andrew Plant, BBC News. | 1:10:39 | 1:10:55 | |
Elaine Borges-Ibanez is on holiday
in Bali and can see the Volcano. | 1:10:55 | 1:11:06 | |
I saw some motorbikes with big sacks
of rice leaving the area, | 1:11:06 | 1:11:09 | |
and some temporary residents
in the area have also left, | 1:11:09 | 1:11:12 | |
but the diehards have stayed
because they are allowed to stay. | 1:11:12 | 1:11:15 | |
Military history will be made
at Buckingham Palace this morning, | 1:11:15 | 1:11:18 | |
when sailors from the Royal Navy
take part in the changing | 1:11:18 | 1:11:21 | |
of the guard for
the very first time. | 1:11:21 | 1:11:23 | |
More than 80 sailors have been
taught the intricate routines | 1:11:23 | 1:11:26 | |
and drill movements required
for the duty, which is usually | 1:11:26 | 1:11:28 | |
carried out by the Army's
Household Division. | 1:11:28 | 1:11:36 | |
Drone technology is constantly
improving, making the machines | 1:11:36 | 1:11:39 | |
better, cheaper,
and more accessible. | 1:11:39 | 1:11:40 | |
This Christmas more drones than ever
are expected to be sold to thousands | 1:11:40 | 1:11:44 | |
of people who will fly them
without any training at all. | 1:11:44 | 1:11:47 | |
This morning we're hearing
about new laws to help clamp down | 1:11:47 | 1:11:49 | |
on illegal and irresponsible flying. | 1:11:49 | 1:11:51 | |
But the government also wants
the country to benefit | 1:11:51 | 1:11:53 | |
from the advantages offered
by the new technology, | 1:11:53 | 1:11:56 | |
making the UK a "world
leader" for the industry. | 1:11:56 | 1:11:58 | |
We're joined now by Christian
Struwe, Head of European Policy | 1:11:58 | 1:12:01 | |
at one of the world's biggest
drone manufacturers. | 1:12:01 | 1:12:12 | |
It is nice to see you. We touched on
it in the introduction, these drones | 1:12:12 | 1:12:18 | |
can be used for a lot of things and
they are getting more advanced. Liz | 1:12:18 | 1:12:22 | |
explain what they can do. Drones can
do anything from taking fantastic | 1:12:22 | 1:12:31 | |
family holiday photos to search and
rescue missions and supporting | 1:12:31 | 1:12:35 | |
police and roof inspections. You
name it. Countless. There are good | 1:12:35 | 1:12:42 | |
uses. But as we mentioned, bad uses
as well. That is what has driven | 1:12:42 | 1:12:46 | |
this proposed legislation. They are
being used, for example, to get | 1:12:46 | 1:12:53 | |
illegal things into prisons. Drugs
over prison walls. That is a real | 1:12:53 | 1:12:59 | |
concern. Definitely. That is not
different from any other technology. | 1:12:59 | 1:13:05 | |
We need to control the bad uses of
any technology. I also think the | 1:13:05 | 1:13:11 | |
government proposal this morning is
quite OK, it is good legislation | 1:13:11 | 1:13:17 | |
that we want to control bad users of
drones. What do you make of the | 1:13:17 | 1:13:23 | |
legislation? Limiting how high they
can fly, can you really police | 1:13:23 | 1:13:29 | |
something like that? It will be
difficult to police. The difficulty | 1:13:29 | 1:13:35 | |
is in the industry were already
working in those kinds of thoughts, | 1:13:35 | 1:13:39 | |
already building height limitation
in the drones. Making it law just | 1:13:39 | 1:13:46 | |
supports what we are doing. Going on
towards registration, obviously, | 1:13:46 | 1:13:51 | |
that is a big gap in the current
regulation, that there is now | 1:13:51 | 1:13:55 | |
regulation of drone pilots. Once you
have that you are a step closer to | 1:13:55 | 1:14:00 | |
enforcement. Of particular concern
is the use of drones around | 1:14:00 | 1:14:05 | |
airports. I understood the law
already says you cannot do that. | 1:14:05 | 1:14:15 | |
There is no law saying how close you
can be to an airport, but you should | 1:14:15 | 1:14:20 | |
not do it. You should stay well
clear. What would you like to see as | 1:14:20 | 1:14:24 | |
far as regulation is concerned for
amateur users? Many will get them | 1:14:24 | 1:14:31 | |
for Christmas presents this year,
they are great hobby, you might want | 1:14:31 | 1:14:36 | |
to fly near the park. What
regulations should people be aware | 1:14:36 | 1:14:40 | |
of? People need to understand there
is regulation any to follow. There | 1:14:40 | 1:14:45 | |
is a thing called the Drone Code
developed by the CAA. It is | 1:14:45 | 1:14:52 | |
available on line to be other than
that, respect your neighbour's right | 1:14:52 | 1:14:56 | |
to privacy. Stay away from anything
like airports and military | 1:14:56 | 1:15:02 | |
installations and so on. What is
important is you have to understand | 1:15:02 | 1:15:06 | |
the rules and regulations that are
out there. Just a final thought on | 1:15:06 | 1:15:12 | |
the future for drones. We see they
get ever more advanced and we see | 1:15:12 | 1:15:16 | |
big on line retailers suggesting
perhaps they will deliver parcels | 1:15:16 | 1:15:19 | |
with drones. Will be good to the
stage where skies are full of them? | 1:15:19 | 1:15:26 | |
You can say probably we will get
there someday. There are also | 1:15:26 | 1:15:30 | |
company is working on drone taxi
services. -- companies. We are | 1:15:30 | 1:15:36 | |
probably a few decades away, but I
am sure we will get there. We will | 1:15:36 | 1:15:41 | |
see. | 1:15:41 | 1:15:48 | |
Good to speak to you, thanks very
much. | 1:15:48 | 1:15:50 | |
Here's Ben with a look
at this morning's weather. | 1:15:50 | 1:15:54 | |
Looking pretty frosty behind you? | 1:15:54 | 1:15:56 | |
Absolutely, good morning. Pretty
representative of what we will see | 1:15:58 | 1:16:02 | |
in most parts of the country this
morning. Also the risk of some ice | 1:16:02 | 1:16:06 | |
and through today certainly it
remains cold, mostly bright with | 1:16:06 | 1:16:10 | |
someone three showers but there's a
bit of a change tonight, turning wet | 1:16:10 | 1:16:14 | |
and windy and with that it will turn
briefly milder. Briefly is the | 1:16:14 | 1:16:19 | |
operative word, it won't last long.
We've had wintry showers in the west | 1:16:19 | 1:16:24 | |
overnight, that brings with it the
risk of icy stretches on untreated | 1:16:24 | 1:16:28 | |
roads and pavements through parts of
the south-west into Wales, bear that | 1:16:28 | 1:16:31 | |
in mind if you're out and about over
the next couple of hours. In East | 1:16:31 | 1:16:36 | |
Anglia and the south-east, plenty of
sunny blue skies but a chilly start, | 1:16:36 | 1:16:41 | |
showers trickling down across
north-west England into parts of the | 1:16:41 | 1:16:44 | |
Midlands and Northern Ireland, and
wherever you have the showers | 1:16:44 | 1:16:47 | |
there's the risk of ice. The showers
wintry over high ground especially | 1:16:47 | 1:16:51 | |
in Scotland, the snow piling up over
some of the hills and mountains. | 1:16:51 | 1:16:55 | |
Through the day it is essentially a
repeat performance of yesterday, | 1:16:55 | 1:16:59 | |
lots of dry and bright weather in
the east and showers in the west but | 1:16:59 | 1:17:03 | |
then things change, the showers will
fade and we will see this area of | 1:17:03 | 1:17:07 | |
cloud rolling in to Northern Ireland
which will bring more persistent | 1:17:07 | 1:17:10 | |
rain here through the late afternoon
and temperatures subtly nudging up, | 1:17:10 | 1:17:15 | |
only by a degree or two, but seven
or eight in the west by the end of | 1:17:15 | 1:17:20 | |
the afternoon. This evening we see
rain moving in across Northern | 1:17:20 | 1:17:23 | |
Ireland, heavy rain at that, rain
turning to snow over high ground in | 1:17:23 | 1:17:27 | |
Scotland and this band of heavy rain
will sink into northern England and | 1:17:27 | 1:17:31 | |
Wales, Lott in some places and with
that strong winds, could see gales | 1:17:31 | 1:17:35 | |
at times, but to the south of this
rain band, colder air. Still cold | 1:17:35 | 1:17:43 | |
across Scotland. I said it would
only turn briefly milder as this | 1:17:43 | 1:17:48 | |
heavy rain slides south during
tomorrow, making for a soggy start | 1:17:48 | 1:17:52 | |
in the south but behind it we get
back into the cold air. We see | 1:17:52 | 1:17:58 | |
sunshine and showers, those showers
increasingly turning wintry over | 1:17:58 | 1:18:01 | |
high ground in Scotland, where we
could see gales, and those | 1:18:01 | 1:18:05 | |
temperatures by the afternoon
beginning to come downwards again. | 1:18:05 | 1:18:08 | |
That's the kind of weather that
takes us into the week ahead. | 1:18:08 | 1:18:12 | |
Through Monday night into Tuesday
this area of low pressure slides | 1:18:12 | 1:18:15 | |
east, still a lot of white lines on
our chart showing it's going to be | 1:18:15 | 1:18:20 | |
quite windy, the winds coming from
the north and that means as we head | 1:18:20 | 1:18:23 | |
through the week we're back into the
cold air, plenty of Christ sunshine, | 1:18:23 | 1:18:27 | |
some showers and some of those could
be wintry. -- crisp sunshine. Thanks | 1:18:27 | 1:18:33 | |
very much, Ben. | 1:18:33 | 1:18:35 | |

a few pence to £10,000 | 1:18:50 | 1:18:56 | |
are they simply the
evolution of a festive | 1:18:56 | 1:18:58 | |
tradition, or a sign that Christmas
is growing ever more commercial? | 1:18:58 | 1:19:01 | |
The retail analyst
Kate Hardcastle is here. | 1:19:01 | 1:19:07 | |
Nice to see you. You have brought in
a few... Let's have a look. That to | 1:19:07 | 1:19:13 | |
me is a more traditional one, still
not made of cardboard. This is mine, | 1:19:13 | 1:19:18 | |
this is a really important one for
me because it's a very good idea to | 1:19:18 | 1:19:23 | |
have one calendar that you top up
each year, which is really | 1:19:23 | 1:19:28 | |
economical and really traditional,
your children can get it out and | 1:19:28 | 1:19:31 | |
they recognise it and look forward
to seeing it and it means you can | 1:19:31 | 1:19:35 | |
put little messages in, which we do
sometimes. In the pockets? I think | 1:19:35 | 1:19:38 | |
that is a really family tasked to do
before Christmas, just like dressing | 1:19:38 | 1:19:44 | |
the tree, something to get excited
about -- task. This is something | 1:19:44 | 1:19:48 | |
that isn't traditional, this one is
pork scratchings, pork crackling in | 1:19:48 | 1:19:54 | |
an advent calendar. Several of you
getting in touch with us this | 1:19:54 | 1:19:59 | |
morning saying you already have
this, but I'm not convinced. I will | 1:19:59 | 1:20:03 | |
read out a message from Matt who has
got in touch, nothing wrong with | 1:20:03 | 1:20:07 | |
less traditional advent calendars, I
have a pork scratching one and a | 1:20:07 | 1:20:12 | |
craft sale one, fun for adults.
They actually selling something at | 1:20:12 | 1:20:16 | |
full price, they are getting very
excited. You may have known Black | 1:20:16 | 1:20:21 | |
Friday this week but discounting is
heavy in this period so the advent | 1:20:21 | 1:20:25 | |
calendar and the rise of adults
buying them and having them for | 1:20:25 | 1:20:28 | |
themselves and treating themselves
is big business and that's why all | 1:20:28 | 1:20:32 | |
the brands are getting on the back
of it. You've got everything from | 1:20:32 | 1:20:36 | |
alcohol, food, to the famous beauty
ones that are creating sensations | 1:20:36 | 1:20:40 | |
online and it's exciting for
retailers. But for the consumer, do | 1:20:40 | 1:20:45 | |
they represent value for money?
Sometimes they're great value for | 1:20:45 | 1:20:48 | |
money and it's a great opportunity
to be savvy with your shopping. The | 1:20:48 | 1:20:52 | |
beauty calendars in particular
normally have more value than you | 1:20:52 | 1:20:55 | |
pay for them. Other times, sadly
like a big scandal this time | 1:20:55 | 1:21:01 | |
pay for them. Other times, sadly
like a big scandal this time, a | 1:21:01 | 1:21:02 | |
video blog that has put her name to
one that has £20 worth of stuff in | 1:21:02 | 1:21:07 | |
it but has been sold for much more
-- blogger. It was a 12 window | 1:21:07 | 1:21:12 | |
calendar so you only get 12 items.
It isn't even advent? That's what's | 1:21:12 | 1:21:19 | |
happening, the fun of them and the
excitement, it creates such a buzz | 1:21:19 | 1:21:24 | |
that retailers can do things like
this but they should remember the | 1:21:24 | 1:21:27 | |
relationship with the consumer needs
to last beyond Christmas so anything | 1:21:27 | 1:21:31 | |
you do to cheat at this time of year
would pay back next year. It's about | 1:21:31 | 1:21:35 | |
brand awareness and getting people
involved -- won't pay back. You talk | 1:21:35 | 1:21:41 | |
about value, but the association, if
you've got one of these, you have a | 1:21:41 | 1:21:45 | |
whole month of seeing the brand in
your kitchen or your living room and | 1:21:45 | 1:21:49 | |
that is important for the retailers?
Absolutely, and the fact they might | 1:21:49 | 1:21:54 | |
sell out or be resold online through
auction sites, excitement for the | 1:21:54 | 1:21:57 | |
brand and good PR. We understand why
they're doing it but you can get a | 1:21:57 | 1:22:02 | |
really low value product through the
excitement. Really important | 1:22:02 | 1:22:06 | |
question, what was in the £10,000
advent calendar? It was mobbed with | 1:22:06 | 1:22:10 | |
skis which were very sought-after. I
don't know anything about that -- | 1:22:10 | 1:22:15 | |
malt whiskeys. I'm quite happy with
the chocolate one! I think we've | 1:22:15 | 1:22:21 | |
already been tucking in! These ones
are still sealed, I promise! Do you | 1:22:21 | 1:22:27 | |
want that one crazy speak to you
later. | 1:22:27 | 1:22:31 | |
The Andrew Marr Show is on BBC One
at 9am this morning. | 1:22:31 | 1:22:34 | |
Andrew, what's in store? | 1:22:34 | 1:22:36 | |
No chocolate but almost everything
else, a great show for you at 9am. | 1:22:36 | 1:22:40 | |
My main political guest is Ruth
Davidson, the woman many Tories want | 1:22:40 | 1:22:44 | |
to be the next Prime Minister and
I'll be talking to Ben from ABBA | 1:22:44 | 1:22:49 | |
about Brexit. Many of you with a
long memory will remember Archbishop | 1:22:49 | 1:22:54 | |
John Senden Le Roux dramatically
cutting up his dog collar in protest | 1:22:54 | 1:22:59 | |
at Robert Mugabe's regime, and will
he put it back on again? We find out | 1:22:59 | 1:23:04 | |
at 9am. And how many musicians can
you get into one small political | 1:23:04 | 1:23:10 | |
programmes studio? Right from the
Albert Hall I have Jools Holland and | 1:23:10 | 1:23:14 | |
an extraordinary musical experience
at the end of the show. Lots | 1:23:14 | 1:23:18 | |
happening at 9am. A packed show and
a packed studio, see you later on. | 1:23:18 | 1:23:23 | |
Time now for a look
at the newspapers. | 1:23:23 | 1:23:25 | |
Broacaster Janice Long
is here to tell us | 1:23:28 | 1:23:31 | |
what's caught her eye. | 1:23:31 | 1:23:32 | |
But first, let's look
at the front pages. | 1:23:32 | 1:23:32 | |
You have picked out a story, we talk
about advent a lot at this time of | 1:23:36 | 1:23:45 | |
years, but Black Friday, but a novel
way if you don't like the queues? | 1:23:45 | 1:23:51 | |
When I lived in London I thought
Oxford Street should have three | 1:23:51 | 1:23:57 | |
lanes. If you are going to work your
in the outside lane because you | 1:23:57 | 1:24:00 | |
don't want the person in front of
you dawdling. The middle if you have | 1:24:00 | 1:24:05 | |
some kind of idea where you're going
and if you want to dawdle you go on | 1:24:05 | 1:24:10 | |
the inside lane and the shopping
centre in Essex, we've got a 700 | 1:24:10 | 1:24:14 | |
feet corridor which is going to
allow the fast movers to get | 1:24:14 | 1:24:19 | |
through, and they want to prevent, I
didn't realise this existed, but we | 1:24:19 | 1:24:23 | |
do it slow wage. You know when
you're stuck behind somebody on a | 1:24:23 | 1:24:27 | |
phone... People just stop all of a
sudden. You don't know whether to go | 1:24:27 | 1:24:34 | |
left or right. If you go left them
they go left. You do all of that! | 1:24:34 | 1:24:39 | |
That is a novel idea and whether it
will stick I don't know, it's been | 1:24:39 | 1:24:44 | |
put forward before. This is Lakeside
in Essex, 700 foot long corridor so | 1:24:44 | 1:24:49 | |
you know where they want to go? You
might not be shopping, you might be | 1:24:49 | 1:24:54 | |
working, you might need to get to
your place of work and you don't | 1:24:54 | 1:24:58 | |
want to be stuck behind Mavis and
Jimmy who are dawdling and trying to | 1:24:58 | 1:25:05 | |
decide what to buy. What else have
you got? Hitchhiking. I remember for | 1:25:05 | 1:25:13 | |
ever being on motorways and you
would always see people at the | 1:25:13 | 1:25:16 | |
services standing there with boards
topless or whatever and putting | 1:25:16 | 1:25:21 | |
there some out. There were so many
of them and gradually they would | 1:25:21 | 1:25:26 | |
disappear and that's because people
are a bit scared about picking up | 1:25:26 | 1:25:31 | |
strangers, men less so than women,
but still it has become a dying | 1:25:31 | 1:25:37 | |
trend. Now they have into introduced
websites and apps so people can make | 1:25:37 | 1:25:44 | |
contact with other people, they're
hoping it is safer, I don't know how | 1:25:44 | 1:25:48 | |
they guard that. Also you might have
to make a contribution, maybe £10 | 1:25:48 | 1:25:53 | |
towards the petrol. It might come
back but in a slightly different | 1:25:53 | 1:25:58 | |
way. It is essentially lift sharing?
It is, isn't it? I can't see the | 1:25:58 | 1:26:04 | |
fact that we're going to... I hitch
hiked.. Dot where to? In France and | 1:26:04 | 1:26:11 | |
I got picked up by a policeman, who
said, do you know hitchhiking is | 1:26:11 | 1:26:15 | |
illegal, you're not hitchhiking, are
you? I said, no, I'm not! I was just | 1:26:15 | 1:26:22 | |
doing something with my thumb! The
same article says there is a | 1:26:22 | 1:26:25 | |
researchers in the number of
hitchhikers who prefer the | 1:26:25 | 1:26:28 | |
old-fashioned way. You look at rail
travel and the price, if you can do | 1:26:28 | 1:26:33 | |
this and it is safe, fantastic!
Let's talk about prisons, but about | 1:26:33 | 1:26:39 | |
restaurants in prisons. It's funny,
I've been hearing lots of good | 1:26:39 | 1:26:43 | |
things about restaurants in prisons
getting good ratings. They are run | 1:26:43 | 1:26:48 | |
by inmates. They are run by inmates
at the chain is called Clink, really | 1:26:48 | 1:26:53 | |
good, and the top one is in Wilmslow
in Cheshire. What it is for people | 1:26:53 | 1:27:00 | |
to get back into society. When they
come out of prison they've got | 1:27:00 | 1:27:04 | |
skills and they do exams in catering
and they're doing really well. The | 1:27:04 | 1:27:08 | |
inmates don't get the same food...
When I first read the headline, | 1:27:08 | 1:27:13 | |
people might interpret it as inmates
having a really nice time. Oh, no. | 1:27:13 | 1:27:18 | |
It does make it clear in the
article, doesn't it? There a diner | 1:27:18 | 1:27:22 | |
in the restaurant, you might get
smoked salmon but if you're in | 1:27:22 | 1:27:29 | |
prison then you only get cereal and
milk -- there's a diner. But people | 1:27:29 | 1:27:33 | |
are going and really enjoying it.
It's a good idea, training for | 1:27:33 | 1:27:38 | |
rehabilitation and making a
contribution when they leave. Leave | 1:27:38 | 1:27:43 | |
feeling they have got something. We
talked about posh and expensive | 1:27:43 | 1:27:48 | |
advent calendars, similar theme,
presents for pets. Wherever you go | 1:27:48 | 1:27:52 | |
there is an increase in the stuff
you can buy for pets, there was a | 1:27:52 | 1:27:56 | |
craft fair last week and then there
were other things for pets, | 1:27:56 | 1:28:00 | |
bandannas what do you call the
things that Luke Skywalker has? A | 1:28:00 | 1:28:06 | |
light sabre. I've never even seen
Star Wars! And the lead makes a | 1:28:06 | 1:28:12 | |
rushing sound so your dog can think
he is Luke Skywalker! And then there | 1:28:12 | 1:28:20 | |
is Pawsecco for cats and dogs,
non-alcoholic obviously, but a | 1:28:20 | 1:28:25 | |
bottle of Pawsecco you can buy for
your pets and there's also be. But | 1:28:25 | 1:28:31 | |
not real beer? No, no. -- there's
also beer. I can see the benefit of | 1:28:31 | 1:28:37 | |
Cologne, the pet might not like it
but the other people around your pet | 1:28:37 | 1:28:42 | |
might appreciate it. But it's a big
market? People are always thinking | 1:28:42 | 1:28:45 | |
what can we do to make even more
money? I have a Siberian Husky and | 1:28:45 | 1:28:51 | |
I'm a sucker for pet presence, last
year it was a big pet motion, it's | 1:28:51 | 1:28:57 | |
not a dressing gown that I'm looking
at at the moment but it is like a | 1:28:57 | 1:29:03 | |
little thing with a hood -- pet
presents. | 1:29:03 | 1:29:16 | |
We're here on the BBC News Channel
until 9am this morning, | 1:29:16 | 1:29:19 | |
and coming up in the next hour: | 1:29:19 | 1:29:22 | |
The changing of the guard, | 1:29:22 | 1:29:24 | |
how sailors from the Royal Navy
will be protecting the Queen | 1:29:24 | 1:29:27 | |
at Buckingham Palace
for the very first time. | 1:29:27 | 1:29:29 | |
We'll hear claims that people
with severe brain conditions | 1:29:29 | 1:29:32 | |
are being failed by the NHS
with many having to travel hundreds | 1:29:32 | 1:29:35 | |
of miles to get the help they need. | 1:29:35 | 1:29:37 | |
And we'll meet the schoolboys
from inner-city Tottenham who bought | 1:29:37 | 1:29:40 | |
a yacht on eBay and have now won
a prestigious sailing award. | 1:29:40 | 1:29:43 | |
All that to come on
the BBC News Channel. | 1:29:43 | 1:29:45 | |
But this is where we say goodbye
to viewers on BBC One. | 1:29:45 | 1:29:47 | |
Only state school to enter that
competition. All of that still to | 1:29:48 | 1:29:53 | |
come on the BBC News Channel. | 1:29:53 | 1:29:55 | |
But this is where we say goodbye
to viewers on BBC One. | 1:29:55 | 1:29:56 |
